mischievous students making fun of those on home quarantine After a month of holidays, schools in Singapore are set to re-open tomorrow. But some of my foreign students who are returning from other areas with evidence of community transmission of Influenza A (H1N1) were advised to stay home by their schools.
I have placed those students on self-quarantine, hoping to limit the spread of Influenza A (H1N1) in the community.
They will stay at home throughout the 7 days quarantine period. I will monitor their temperature twice daily and check for flu-like symptoms. They must practice good personal hygiene and minimise contact with other house mates. They will have online lessons until they return to school on 6 July.
I don't know whether they are carriers of the virus. We just have to be socially responsible. I have prepared masks and hand sanitizers for every one in the house.
On 28th June 2009, Singapore has confirmed 145 new cases of H1N1, bringing the tally to 599.

ReplyDeleteHere in Manila, a lot of schools have confirmed cases of the A(H1N1) virus. Some have suspended classes until July. Some are braving the spreading of the virus, suspending only the classes that has the confirmed case.
ReplyDeletethat is very sad to hear but it's good everyone isdoing his/her part to prevent the spread. wehave 8 confirmed cases herein dubai.

Singapore is so highly-densed...no wonder the transmission rate is high.
ReplyDeleteI agree, self quarantine is a good example of social responsibility. I hope those students will not show any symptoms of the dreaded A (H1N1) virus.
ReplyDeletehope the students are free from the H1N1 flu virus.
ReplyDeleteECL
ReplyDeleteI hope you will take care of yourself too

I agree that everyone has to be socially responsible.

can't help feeling disturbed with the increased cases of h1n1. you are doing all that you can to prevent the spreading, a role for us to follow indeed. :)
ReplyDeleteHope it will be over soon.
ReplyDeleteSo, behind the scenes and big news headlines, this flu is raging on.
ReplyDeletewow. I had almost forgotten about it, the news here has stopped covering it so much.
We should all stay mindful of this, even when the news is not covering it.
It's scary seeing the number keep on jumping everyday!Hopefully it will be over soon, with everybody playing their part to avert it from further spreading.
ReplyDeleteWhen this is over??? Everyday also got case, that's really headache
ReplyDeleteHope everyone will be cleared from H1N1.
ReplyDeleteYou take care too ECL!
With the numbers rising, it's quite worrisome, but life still has to go on.
H1N1 cases in the Philippines are also growing. schools have suspended classes, as well. i picked up a friend at the airport earlier and i was surprised there were only a few wearing masks. i have an out of town trip on Wednesday and i have already prepared a mask & sanitizer.:P
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing what you're doing. :) I also hope they don't get the virus. You take care yourself.
ReplyDeleteReally hope this swine flu would stop soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Ecl, hope all going well.
ReplyDeleteEcl,
ReplyDeleteYou are to be lauded for being socially responsible in taking care of your foreign students.
Stay healthy, ECL, keep that virus away!!!
ReplyDeleteH1N1 cases are increasing in Malaysia too. Looks like the number of cases won't be reducing anytime soon : (
ReplyDeleteIt's quite difficult to contain the virus as those who were infected but had not shown any symptoms yet were already spreading the virus.
ReplyDeleteBut luckily this H1N1 is not that deadly, or else we'll all be in a state of panic!
ReplyDeleteBut have to salute you for monitoring the students during their self quarantine. It's good to be socially responsible. We should all be socially responsible : )
ReplyDeleteWith careful steps taken to prevent the spread of this virus everything will be alright after some time. Hope u take good care of yourself too.
ReplyDeletescary! >.<
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good measure. At least the kids won't affect others and they don't miss out with school too having online lessons. You have such dedication ECL! I salute you!
