Philippine Colleges Classes Moved
It’s a beautiful day of Monday, and no classes yet! My vacation extends until the 17th of June as announced by the University. Although the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) announced last Saturday that start of classes on Philippine colleges will be postponed until June 15, FEU announced suspension of classes earlier on Friday after unconfirmed information had been disseminated through text messages to the FEU community.
CHED decided to suspend class to give enough time for the schools to prepare their facilities while students who had been out of the country this last vacation to do self-quarantine. This is a precautionary measure against the growing number of cases of Influenza A(H1N1) virus after cases has been confirmed to 3 students of De La Salle University Main Campus. On June 3, DLSU website posted, ” the closure of the campus from June 4 to 14, 2009 in view of its first confirmed case of the Influenza A N1H1 virus.”
I am worried about this because the virus has infiltrated the Universities where students are at risk of being infected in a closed air-conditioned room. They have an active social life which is vulnerable for a contagious disease.
Influenza A (H1N1) virus count: 46 cases (as of 06/08/2009 | 11:00 PM, GMANews.tv)
Do we have to observe reverse isolation already?
