Swine Flu Prevention |
| Posted by Administrator (administrator) on Jan 11 2011 |
Dear Parents,
I should be grateful if you would give the following your close attention:
Be aware of the symptoms of flu. Flu usually presents with sudden onset of fever (temperature over 38º C) and cough or sore throat. Other symptoms can include runny or stuffy nose, limb or joint pain, headache, vomiting or diarrhoea.
Prevent spread of flu by doing the following at all times:
1. Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing.
2. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of tissues immediately as household rubbish in the normal way. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands.
3. Do not share wind instruments. Avoid sharing pencils, crayons, pens, toys/objects where possible and, if sharing them, clean them before passing them between students.
4. If you have symptoms of flu, you should not attend school.
5. If you have suspected flu, you should remain at home for 7 days from when symptoms began.
6. Children should wear a coat to school during the winter months.
Disinfectant dispensers for the use of adults / children are installed at strategic locations throughout the school.
Finally,I would ask parents not to send children to school who complain of being sick, or who have cold/flu symptoms.
Thank you for your co-operation.
