As the new school term is scheduled to begin on Monday (4th September 2023), the Ministry of Health is informing the public, particularly parents and guardians, of good hygiene practices to prevent the spread of viruses such as Conjunctivitis, Influenza and other respiratory viruses, Gastroenteritis, Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease and Chickenpox.
These good hygiene practices include the following:
The Ministry notes that all outbreaks of infectious viruses should be reported to the relevant County Medical Officer of Health (CMOH). The public is also reminded that in accordance with the Public Health (Nursery Schools and Primary Schools Immunization) Act 1973, children entering nursery and primary schools must be vaccinated. Further, in light of high temperatures (heated conditions) experienced in recent times, parents and guardians are reminded to take the necessary precautions to ensure children stay hydrated by eating fruits and vegetables (at least 2 - 4 servings daily), drinking at least 8 - 10 glasses of water and staying within shaded areas where possible.
