Students Sitting For Exams Advised To Take Precautions To Prevent H1N1 Infection

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- Students who are sitting for the upcoming major examinations are advised to take extra precautions, especially on personal hygiene, to prevent the influenza A (H1N1) infection.

The examinations include the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).

Director-General of Health Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said the students should observe personal hygiene by washing their hands frequently with soap and water and covering their noses and mouths with tissue when sneezing or coughing.

"This is because if students who show symptoms of the disease are sent to school, there is a high risk that they will spread the virus to their friends," he said in a statement here on Tuesday.
