Via The Star, the right move to protect the small ones. Kudos to the Johor State Women, Family, Health and Community Development Committee chairman Dr Robia Kosai.
" Kindergartens that have pupils suffering from Influenza A (H1N1) symptoms are urged to close down for at least one week.
State Women, Family, Health and Community Development Committee chairman Dr Robia Kosai said closing down the kindergartens was important to prevent the virus from spreading, as Johor had recorded three cluster cases so far.
“Two of the cluster cases were from Batu Pahat and another from Kluang involving kindergartens.
“The kindergartens’ authorities have been advised to close down and quarantine their schools the moment they detected such symptoms among their pupils,” she told pressmen after launching an academic award ceremony for disabled children at the Mawar Complex here.
Dr Robia said that the state had recorded a total of 41 cases this year in the Batu Pahat, Kluang, Johor Baru, Muar and Pontian districts.
“So far, one death had been reported, in Johor Baru earlier this month,” she said."
