Delhi's Directorate of Education has issued an advisory to schools asking them to enforce hygiene measures, mask-wearing, and vigilance after 2,308 swine flu cases and about 650 flu cases were reported in the capital. The advisory lists symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and breathing trouble, and asks schools to clean surfaces, ensure ventilation, and discourage self-medication.
Education Minister Ashish Sood said there is no emergency or need for panic, with the health department monitoring the situation. Former ICMR chief Prof Nirmal Kumar Ganguly also advised against panic, noting that H1N1 is an old virus and testing is not mandatory for all. He said 2,300 cases in Delhi is a low number and urged precautions for children and the elderly.
District deputy directors of education must submit a compliance report to the School Branch (Health) by August 31.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same facts and stress no need for panic, making the coverage uniform straight reporting. The advisory's practical measures and the official reassurance from the minister and the former ICMR chief are the sole frames. No source challenges the government's preparedness or questions the case count. The compliance report due August 31 will show whether schools have implemented the steps, and the next official surveillance data will indicate if cases continue their reported decline.
