R.I. health officials expect to get test results this Friday or Saturday for a student at North Kingstown High School who is being tested for swine flu.

North Kingstown High School was closed for the rest of this week after the student fell ill after a spring break trip to Mexico.

Health Department spokeswoman Annemarie Beardsworth said Thursday morning that no other schools in Rhode Island have decided to close at this time due to concerns about the flu spreading.

She said health department officials are holding an early-morning staff meeting Thursday, where they'll continue to lead the state's response to the recent outbreak of the swine flu.
