ORLANDO, Fla. -- School starts again next month and doctors said schools are not ready for a potential surge in swine flu cases, but leaders from nine Central Florida counties are working on a plan to fight the virus.

A swine flu summit was held at the Orange County Emergency Operations Center on Monday.

Health experts said they believe swine flu, or H1N1, will continue to spread and it is important for counties to have a plan.

There are 2,188 confirmed and probable cases of swine flu in Florida, up 886 cases since two weeks ago.

Health experts expect the virus to be rampant on school campuses when they reopen for the fall term.

Kathy Marsh of Orange County Public Schools attended the summit.

"What we're doing now is looking at all the processes we currently have in place, seeing what we need to modify," Marsh said.

Marsh said Orange County schools are trying to create a procedure for school closures.

"How do we deliver education? How do we pay our employees? How do we deal with the impact of students who may be seeing loved ones pass away?" Marsh said.

There are so many cases of swine flu that the Centers for Disease Control is ready to stop counting. Global Health Officials already stopped keeping a tally.

A vaccine for the virus is not expected to be completed until October at the earliest.

"That's the biggest thing the health departments have been working on, is making sure how we're going to distribute the vaccine," Dain Weister of the Orange County Health Department said.
