SMK Seri Bintang Utara will be closed down for a week, starting from tomorrow (30th July) until next Thursday (6th August). The school will reopen on Friday, 7th August 2009. The fact that SBU is gonna be quarantined hasn't really crossed in my mind before.
So, initially I was extremely thrilled and happy when I knew about the news. Who wouldn't be happy if you have one whole week off in a sudden?!
But come to think of it, I've started to get
a little worried. It seems that 40 people from the school's hostel are suspected that they have been infected by the H1N1 virus.
And it seems that a few teachers too had been infected by the virus.
40, isn't that quite a number already?Which means now most of the students of SBU are at
risk of being infected, including myself.
Here are a few signs and symptoms of H1N1:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
- Sudden dizziness
- Confusion
- Severe or persistent vomiting
- Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
We should really monitor ourselves throughout this period of time. If anyone has most of these symptoms stated above, go to the hospital or the nearest clinic.
Sanitize hands, drink more water and get more rest in order to strengthen
the immune system.
Well let's all just pray that this epidemic will reach to an end soon.
**Nevertheless, it's holiday time!! =))
