H1N1 Guidelines

H1N1 is globalizing the whole world and is now a pandemic which have “murdered” estimated 3000 people. Here are some tips that can enable students to stay healthy and fit. First check your temperature every day before coming to school or heading out for lessons or shopping. Having a fever or a temperature of 37.6 and above? Rest at home or else wear a mask if it is compulsory to head out.
Next, wash your hands before you have your breakfast, lunch, dinner or even supper. Washing your hand will decrease the chances of germs living and thus, your hands will be cleaner. You can also apply soap so as to destroy the bacteria and germs. You can now have your dinner, breakfast, supper and lunch comfortably without worrying of the germs and bacteria on your hands.
You can also do your part even if you have H1N1! Wear a surgical mask to the nearest pandemic prepared clinic or else rest at home. Don’t know the venue of the nearest clinic? Message “Clinic” to 70550 and they will reply you the address of the nearest clinic. If you have difficulties breathing or else having chest pains, call 995 to look for an appointment.
You can also sneeze into a handkerchief or also cough into it. Do not cough or sneeze directly into the air as it will release bacteria and germs and affect others into spreading the virus.
These are some of the tips that I hope to share with my fellow students. Anyway, please take care of yourself!
