| In
view of outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease (EV71),
the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health
alerted the public that Hong Kong has entered the peak season
of enterovirus complications, and outbreaks will remain at
a high level in the coming two months with
sporadic serious cases.
In preparation for the prevention of such
communicable disease, we are ensuring the following: |
-
All equipment and materials are daily
and thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant
-
All toilets are checked half-hourly for
cleanliness and the removal of paper waste
-
All snacks are served with clean tongs
and are never touched by teachers' hands
-
Any staff who show symptoms of fever
or other illnesses are asked to take sick leave until
they are completely well again
-
Child and adult masks and alcohol sprays
are available in all studios
|
| It is incumbent upon all of
us to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. To safeguard
students' health, parents are urged to maintain a hygienic household,
and co-operate with us by reminding students to observe personal
hygiene. In this connection, you are kindly requested to take
the following measures: |
- Do not send children to class if they have a fever. (For
the normal body temperature range, please refer to CHP's
guidelines pertaining to the means for measuring body
temperature)
- Inform us immediately if children are sick or have been
admitted to hospital for surveillance
- Keep sick children at home until symptoms have improved
and fever has subsided; then take rest for at least two
more days before returning to class
- Co-operate with schools by picking up children feeling
unwell from school and consult your doctor immediately
|
We ask that if students show signs of sickness, such as
fever, repeated vomiting, rashes, persistent sleepiness
or downiness, you act considerately to the other children
in the class and remove your child from class and do not
bring them to class until they are better. Make-up classes
can be arranged.
We would like to appeal to parents for collaboration in
order to maintain a clean and healthy living environment.
