H1NI Virus – NOTICE OF TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF SRI KL SCHOOL

On Wednesday 4th August 2009 a new case of H1N1 virus was confirmed affecting a student of Primary School.
The School immediately contacted the Ministry of Health’s H1N1 Control Centre with a request to temporarily close. Today at 4.30PM the H1N1 Control Centre has given approval to close the School as a preventative measure. As such the following procedures apply with immediate effect.

PRE-SCHOOL, PRIMARY SCHOOL AND SECONDARY SCHOOL shall be temporarily closed as of Monday 10th August 2009 and all students are to remain at home for ONE CALENDAR WEEK.

ALL students without flu-like symptoms must return to School on Monday 17th August 2009 unless otherwise advised.

All co-curricular activities are suspended with effect from Saturday 8th August 2009 and no students shall be allowed to come to school for any activities whatsoever during the one week closure.

All students should remain quarantined at home during this period and should practice social distancing and a heightened level of personal hygiene such as frequent hand-washing with disinfectant soap, covering the mouth when coughing/sneezing and not sharing food and drink.

Quarantined students who display any flu-like symptoms during this time should immediately seek medical advice.

Parents must inform the School immediately if your child is confirmed as having the H1N1 virus.

Homework for quarantined students will be made available via the Sri KL website and students are requested to complete their assignments in a timely and responsible manner.

The School is in regular contact with the Ministry of Education and the Health Ministry and will update parents as and when there are any new developments.

In the mean time, adjustments will be made to the School Calendar to accommodate the disruption to lessons and mid-term examinations.

Your close cooperation is much appreciated.
