In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has advised schools to implement measures such as mask-wearing if multiple students fall ill with respiratory symptoms. This is to prevent the spread of the virus within the school community and to protect the health and wellbeing of students and staff.
Under the MOE's guidelines, schools are required to conduct regular health checks on students and staff and to immediately isolate anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness. If multiple students in a school develop such symptoms, the MOE has advised schools to consider implementing measures such as mask-wearing, improved ventilation, and increased cleaning and disinfection.
In addition to these measures, schools are also encouraged to promote good personal hygiene practices among students and staff, such as regular handwashing and avoiding close contact with others. The MOE has emphasized the importance of these measures in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, particularly in enclosed spaces such as classrooms.
While the MOE's guidelines are aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19, they also serve as a reminder of the importance of maintaining good hygiene and taking appropriate measures to protect against respiratory illnesses in general. By working together and taking these precautions, schools can help to ensure the health and wellbeing of their students and staff, and prevent the spread of illness within the school community.
