The Deputy Minister of Health stated that it is predicted that we will likely reach the peak of the flu wave by mid-December. He advised families of children showing symptoms of respiratory infections and flu-like illnesses not to send their children to schools until they recover; the presence of a child with flu-like symptoms in schools could lead to the transmission of the disease to other students and consequently result in the closure of classes or schools.
