Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-3) and Yale-New Haven Hospital medical staff are holding an informational meeting about the Enterovirus Monday morning for school nurses after a confirmed case of the virus in the state and several other reports of possible cases.
The Enterovirus has been confirmed in 22 states, including Connecticut. A 6-year-old Connecticut girl was treated at Yale-New Haven Hospital with a confirmed case of the Enterovirus and released more than a week ago.
With the school year underway, officials want to keep school nurses as informed as possible about the illness.
There are five hospitals in the state waiting for test results to confirm whether there were more cases of the Enterovirus.
The meeting will be held at the Mauro Sheridan Magnet School in New Haven late morning.
