Dear Parents / Guardians
Influenza A(H1N1)
According to news reports, current statistics for the country are as follows :
· 58 reported cases
· 2 schools closed for a week
· 4 schools stopped a class each
Although there have been school closures, Kinderland will close only if there is a confirmed case in this school or there is a directive from the Ministry of Health to do so.
However, if there is unanimous request from the parents to close, Kinderland will then adhere to these requests.
In the meantime, the school has taken the following measures :
Air-conditioning units in classrooms are kept at a minimal level and windows wi9ll be opened throughout the day.
The school will explain to students the symptoms and preventive measures through :
- assemblies
- teachers in classrooms
- a dedicated noticeboard
- electronic media
Students returning from Australia and the United States have been requested to stay home for 3 days from the day they arrive home. This period of quarantine will be reviewed as necessary.
This is pending approval/confirmation from the Ministry of Health on the proper procedures to be followed. As per mentioned earlier, we have taken all neccessary measures to keep this influenza in check.
The school will keep parents updated on any further developments. Please inform the school management immediately if your child is suspected/confirmed to be infected with the Influenza A(H1N1) virus.
Thank you.
The Management

PREVENTION is the best option. We parents are all for temporary closure for a week or two ,as preemptive measures are best here. School can also be disinfected wt anti-viral desinfectants during this time.
All this while we've been disinfecting the school with anti viral disinfectant
Unfortunately there's only been one request to temporary close the school.
However your comment will be acknowledged. Thank you very much.
