Dear Parents,
As you will be aware, the rate of infection of Swine Flu has increased rapidly within Australia in the last few weeks. Whilst most of the population has become complacent because of it’s mild effect of most people we are mindful that this can be a very serious illness for children under five years of age, particularly those with other health problems such as asthma.
In light of this we would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that children presenting with flu like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, running nose or cough should not come to the centre until they are feeling better. If Flu like symptoms persist please seek a medical opinion.
We will continue to prevent the spread of infection with regular hand washing and cleaning of shared toys but do ask for your assistance in keeping our centre healthy.
Kind Regards
ELC Staff
