A high school student from a Limean private school has been diagnosed with influenza AH1N1 after returning from her school trip to Santo Domingo, (in the Dominican Republic), reported the school's manager Martha Arbulú.

For this reason, Altair School's authorities decided to suspend classes until May 25 (for fifth grade of secondary school only).

The girl, whose name is kept in secret, spent one week in Santo Domingo along with other 28 classmates.

However, Arbulú said that students should remain calm since the infected student did not attend the school after returning from the mentioned high school trip.

This is the same case that was reported yesterday as the third case, and Peru's Ministry of Health remarked that the student is receiving appropriate care and is recovering nicely.

"after returning from her last year's school trip to Santo Domingo"

What does that mean? She took the trip in 2008? or it was a senior class trip? or what?

"students should remain calm down"

There is no mention about¨"last year". However, I see what you mean.
In Peru, it´s a tradition for senior students to travel as a group during their last school year. Sometimes it´s within the country and some other times abroad, like in this case.

About you second comment, I don´t know waht to tell you Mr. Perfection. Where did you read what you said you read?????

That is because they already fixed it.  Perfection isn't required, but basic English is required.
