We are still un-decided either to close the school or not, even the death toll has risen up to 44 today. I have to send my children to school with their faces covered with mask fearing they will get infected by other student. Its very easy to get infected at school and how much can the teachers do to ensure those suspected H1N1 carries do not spread it to other student...very little. There are other ways to learn ..not only going school. But once a student get infected..its family will get infected and what happens if there is a pregnant mother in that family, she and her un-born will get infected easily. Have the Minister ever think about it...
