Sick Chicago students have to stay home 7 days

Chicago Public Schools officials say students who come to school with a cough and fever starting Monday will be sent home and required to stay there for at least seven days.

The stepped up rules come in the wake of more statewide reported cases of swine flu. As of Saturday, Illinois had three confirmed and 85 probable cases of the illness.

CEO Ron Huberman says if a student's temperature is over 100 degrees, the student will be sent home.

Only one CPS student has been treated for probable swine flu and is recovering. The student's school, Joyce Kilmer Elementary School, was closed earlier in the week and hasn't reopened.

The nation's third largest school district is also giving out hand sanitizers to all its 200,000 classrooms.
