SINGAPORE: Schools will continue to be vigilant and keep up precautionary measures to slow the spread of the H1N1 virus in schools.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said in a statement on Friday that regular temperature taking and checks to identify those with influenza-like illness will continue.
Staff and students who are unwell will be asked to seek medical attention and to rest at home. Schools will also continue to remind its students about the importance of personal hygiene and social responsibility.
However, with the growing community spread of H1N1, schools will no longer require students or staff who have returned from affected countries to take Leave of Absence. Those currently on Leave of Absence will be informed that they can return to school from next week.
Students from institutions of higher learning will return to school next Monday, while students from schools will return the next day as Monday is Youth Day - a scheduled school holiday.
As for the first week of Term 3 that ends on Friday, the MOE said that feedback from schools shows that the precautionary measures for H1N1 that were implemented have been carried out smoothly.
