Good Day.
It is flu season ( June to November) , Increasing cases of Influenza- like illness among students and staff are observed at this time.
Influenza- like illness is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, rhinoviruses, enterovirus.
Symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, fatigue, headache, chills and at times vomiting and diarrhea.
Treatment includes antiviral medications on appropriate time, symptomatic and supportive, fluids, adequate rest and sleep.
Currently, there is no public health declaration of outbreak, however, increased cases are noticeable at this time, thus the following are reminders on basic preventive health measures and precautions to help minimize further transmission and to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in addition to the general precautions:
1.) Hygiene Measures- frequent hand washing, cover cough/ sneeze, avoid touching nose/ mouth, maintain adequate ventilation and minimize overcrowding, maintain personal and environmental hygiene etc.
2.) Sick Leave of Absence -
Should remain at home / isolated until minimum of 24 - 48 hrs after fever has resolved
without medication.
3.) Maintain School Measures- wearing of face mask, regular disinfection of classrooms, restrooms, common areas, garbage bins, installation of hand sanitizers and encourage frequent hand washing, limit large indoor gatherings, have the teacher in charge / adviser monitor student absence and refer accordingly, and other related applicable measures.
4.) Medical Consultation- if condition worsens beyond number of days or severe signs e.g. breathing difficulty, chest pain, persistent vomiting and / or loose watery stools.
5.) Vaccination, proper high nutritious value diet, increase water intake and have adequate rest and sleep.
Diseases could be anywhere from school to any places we've been, to minimize and control, prevention of disease transmission and occurrences, to address and combat, is a shared responsibility. While the school health services provides guidance and coordination, success ultimately depends on the cooperation and active participation of all in the school ( students, staff, parents and learner's guardians ) and the community.
Thank you for keeping our school community safe and healthy.
