When to Avoid Private Schooling
Private schools are urging parents to keep their children at home if they show any symptoms of illness, such as fever, cough, or sore throat, and not to return until they have fully recovered. This is to help limit the spread of influenza and viral infections among students. A temperature of 37.5°C (99.5°F) or higher is considered a sign that the child should stay home, and they should remain there for at least 24 hours without a fever or the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school. The procedures also emphasize the importance of not sending students with contagious diseases like influenza or chickenpox to school, and warn that attending school while sick could increase the risk of infection spreading within the school environment.
