A woman and her baby wear face masks as prevention against the swine flu virus in Mexico City on Fri. April 24, 2009. The mayor canceled all public events for 10 days amid fears of a global pandemic.

Students sickened at a Queens school probably have the dreaded swine flu that has killed dozens in Mexico and is threatening to erupt into a global pandemic, officials said Saturday.

Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden said preliminary tests suggest the new bug raced through St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows, where 200 students fell ill last week.
