MEMO TO STUDENTS, LECTURERS, MEMBERS, COURSE PARTICIPANTS

INFLUENZA A (H1N1) UPDATE  

ORANGE ALERT TO BE DOWNGRADED:

TEMPERATURE SCANNING TO TERMINATE

The Ministry of Health has announced yesterday that the H1N1 Flu Pandemic Alert will be gradually downgraded to Yellow by Monday and has lifted the requirement for temperature monitoring and contact tracing in schools from today. Screening at all borders still remains, as does the Home Quarantine Order for travelers from Mexico.

In line with this development, SIM has ceased its temperature scanning and contact tracing on all campuses as from 10 am this morning.

Although the fear of a H1N1 pandemic has abated, we would like to advise everyone to still take personal precautionary and hygiene measures seriously. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and to update you accordingly of any further changes.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation during our precautionary operation.
