Granby - A 'probable' case of H1N1, or swine flu, has been identified at a school in Granby.

The Wells Road Intermediate School has been closed since Thursday, April 30th after a student who recently returned from a family trip to Mexico exhibited flu-like symptoms. The school will reopen Wednesday, May 6th. All other schools in the district have remained open.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will have to determine if the child does in fact have H1N1.

There are two confirmed cases in Connecticut - a child in Middlefield and an adult in Stratford.
