PETALING JAYA: Parents have been warned not to allow children down with flu-like symptoms to attend school when it reopens on Tuesday after a week’s break.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said students with flu-like symptoms or cough must remain at home until they were free of the symptoms.
“Those with symptoms, even though light, can still spread the virus to others. It is feared if it is spread to high risk groups, serious complications and death can occur,” he said in a statement Monday.
He said teachers must ensure that only healthy students attend classes.
He also said sick students should be sent home or to the clinic for treatment to avoid shut down of classes.
“If this is implemented, it will mean that only healthy students will be in class. Parents will be confident of sending their children without symptoms to school.”
