Guidelines For Students And Staff

In view of the increasing number of A (H1N1) influenza cases in the country and the occurrence of local transmission, all students and staff are strongly urged to adhere the following guidelines:

 

    1. Hand hygiene is the single most important measure in preventing infection so

     

  • Clean your hands regularly and frequently.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly.
  • Use alcohol-based handrub if you don’t have immediate access to soap and water.
  • IMU will be providing alcohol handrub dispensers at designated locations like laboratories and the skills centre but all students and staff are strongly advised to carry on your person a small bottle of the alcohol hand rub.  This is readily available at most pharmacies.

 

2. If you have symptoms of influenza like fever, cough, sore throat and body aches do not come to the university

 

  • Go and see a doctor immediately.
  • Follow all local public health recommendations.
  • Keep your distance from well individuals as much as possible (at least 1 metre or 3 feet).
  • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, with tissues or other suitable materials, to contain respiratory secretions.  
  • Dispose of the material immediately after use or wash it.
  • Clean hands immediately after contact with respiratory secretions.
  • Improve airflow in your living space by opening windows as much as possible.
