Despite our best efforts to prevent the incidence of the virus in school, we have been notified of our first confirmed Influenza A(H1N1) case. The Nursery student has received the needed medical treatment, and is now on his way to recovery.
While there has been no community-level transmission, an increase in absences has been observed the past week. We have, therefore, been advised to take all the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus among our students and school personnel.
In conformity with the guidelines set by the Department of Health, classes will be suspended effective tomorrow (25 June) for the prescribed number of days. Classes will resume on July 6, Monday. All events scheduled on campus today until July 5 have also been canceled.
