To Whom It May Concern:
On
behalf of "THE CARROLL COX SHOW" I am requesting your assistance in
obtaining information relating to the recent quarantining of a female in
her early twenties who tested positive for the H1N1 flu virus. The
affected person is a teacher at the United States Job Corps, located at
41-467 Hehemanu St. Waimanalo Hawaii.
For privacy reasons we are withholding the name of the affected
party. I would appreciate your assistance in obtaining answers to the
following questions:
When was the affected person diagnosed for the H1N1 virus?
When was the affected party quarantined by the State Health Department (DoH)?
How long will the affected party be quarantined?
Has or will the State Department of Health notify the public of this case?
Has the DoH confirmed other cases of H1N1 at the Job Corps site this year?
Is the DoH monitoring the Job Corps staff and students?
Is the DoH requiring immunization of the Job Corps staff and students? If yes, when did that begin?
Again
thank you for your assistance in this matter. I would appreciate a
response by the end of business, as I want to post information on our
site CARROLLCOX.COM.
Thank you,
Carroll Cox
