CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY: The Department of Health Center for Health Development in Northern Mindanao today appealed to the parents of students from the schools which suspended classes due to confirmed positive cases of Influenza AH1N1 to observe the mandatory ten (10) days home confinement.
This is to prevent the virus from further spreading within the school campus and the community.
DOH-HD NM Director III Dr. Jose R. Llacuna, Jr. issued the appeal after more schools have declared suspension of classes today after receiving the official communication that they have confirmed positive cases of AH1N1 from DOH.
Among the schools who have already declared suspension of classes are Xavier University, Lourdes College, Corpus Christie School, St. Mary's Academy, Rosevale School, Capitol University and Pilgrim Christian College.
Other schools scheduled to suspend classes within this week are Liceo de Cagayan University, Kong Hua School and Sacred Heart of Jesus Montessori.
City Central School preferred to implement selective suspension of classes as only the sections with at least 20% of pupils experiening Influenza Like Illness (ILI) symtoms will be suspended.
DOH stressed that the proper interventions should first be implemented prior the suspension of classes such as orientation to the students and parents of the prevention measures against the pandemic flu and the commitment in their part to observe the self quarantine for ten (10) days. (jungalbs)
