SALT LAKE CITY -- Catholic administrators have closed Judge Memorial Catholic High School and Our Lady of Lourdes School until at least Tuesday, May 5. The action was taken as a precautionary measure in connection with the probable arrival of the swine flu in Salt Lake County.

Administrators say one of the presenters at the April 27 Judge Memorial Nancy Miller Day has been identified as having a highly-probable infection of the H1N1 (swine flu) virus.

They have notified school faculty and students who came within close proximity to the presenter and are asking them to see a doctor as a precaution.

In addition to classes, all school-related actives have been canceled.

The schools advise parents seeking information to follow media reports and monitor Utah's Flu Information and Resource Web site at www.health.utah.gov/swineflu
