Illness And Isolation
- 1. It is a matter of deep concern that parents allow children suffering from infectious ailments to attend classes or examinations. Such conduct can result in an epidemic outbreak in the school.
- 2. A child should be medically examined at the first sign of any rash/ fever and should be sent to school only on the advice of a doctor. After recovery from an infectious ailment, a child should remain at home for the period of quarantine as advised by a doctor. On return to school, a medical fitness certificate, duly signed by a doctor, should be submitted to the office.
Quarantine period recommended for- - 1. Chicken pox - 3 weeks (till the complete falling of scabs)
- 2. Measles - 2 weeks
- 3. Mumps - 2 weeks
- 4. Conjunctivitis - 1 week
- 5. Jaundice - 4 weeks If children come to school with infectious diseases, they will be sent back home. A student must be medically fit to attend school for the whole day. In case a child is ill, a medical certificate must be provided.
