Hello! 

 

Recently, there has been a Type B Flu Pandemic around the school. Good personal hygiene is one of the most effective ways to protect ourselves and others from getting a flu. 

 

Please follow the basic personal hygiene habits below:

 

 

 

1.  Wash your hands frequently.

 

- Wash your hands using a soap and warm water to kill germs on your hands. In the absence of a sink, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.

 

 

2. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth.

 

- The virus can get into your body through a mucosal membrane in your eyes, nose and mouth.

 

 

3. Clean communal surfaces.

 

- Wipe down commonly-touched surfaces such as your phone, desk, keyboard, mouse, etc. using any standard household cleaner.

 

 

4. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy and nutritious foods.

 

- Foods high in Vitamin C such as fruits and vegetables boost your immune system.

 

 

5. Use a mask.

 

- If you start coughing, please put a mask on not to spread the virus to others.

 

 

If you experience flu symptoms such as a sudden rise in temperature above 38 °C, chills, aching muscles and joints or headache, please don't hesitate to visit a local clinic for a flu test. 

 

If you have any questions, please stop by the Healthcare Room any time.

 

Thank you.
