Hong Kong School Suspension H1N1: September 09
It's happening again. The Gov't has told schools that if 10% of their school population is on sick leave they must suspend school for 7-days.
So far, HKIS has suspended their Middle School (last week) and their Lower and Primary Schools (this week)
Have also heard that Renaissance College has suspended classes.
If you hear of any other school closures please post them here.
From EDB
In line with the current strategy in the mitigation phase, CHP will base on a number of conditions, such as the numbers of students affected, severely ill and hospitalized, the progression of the outbreak, the effectiveness of control measures and so on in advising on class suspension. In general situation, reference will also
be taken from (but not solely dictated by) the following indicators:
the rate of sick leave reaching 10% or above;
the rate of hospitalization being above 1%;
admission of two or more students to Intensive Care Unit; or
death of an otherwise healthy student in the school due to influenza.
