What actions does PHAC recommend schools, daycares and postsecondary institutions take to address H1N1 flu virus?
The H1N1 flu virus can spread easily among young people, PHAC has developed guidelines for daycares and K-12 schools (LINK) as well as postsecondary institutions and board schools (LINK) to help reduce the risk of transmission within school settings. These guidelines make recommendations on how to teach students and staff about proper handwashing and covering coughs and sneezes, as well as increased measures in isolating the ill, disinfecting common surfaces, and reporting outbreaks to local public health authorities.
