Warning that no carelessness would be tolerated, the circular said that seating arrangement for such kids have to be made separately or ask the parents not to send the kids to school.
Doctors say that though the situation isn't epidemic, precautionary measure should be taken by parents and schools to encourage students wearing double-layered masks, carry handkerchief and cover nose while travelling in bus. Parents are suggested to give sanitizer or soap to students and ask them to wash hands every few hours and use sanitizers. The masks should be discarded and should not be reused, a doctor said adding that touching the masks would lead to spread of disease.
Despite the fact that the disease spreads mostly due to travellers and those coming from different parts of country, railway station and bus stand have no swine flu screening facility for the passengers.
