Schools Bracing For H1N1 Outbreak

Schools, colleges and universities are bracing to become the new breeding ground for the H1N1 flu virus, which is expected to quickly multiply in classrooms and then richochet through students’ families to the rest of the community.

                                                                       

In an effort to do all we can as teachers and parents, it is important to think outside the box regarding preventative measures. One helpful idea that comes to mind is purchasing washable keyboards for our homes and schools. Because kids share keyboards, it seems logical that they are a potential breeding ground for disease. Don’t take chances. These cleanable keyboards are durable, silicon keyboards. I purchased mine at wetkeys.com


According to Brisbane News protecting our children agianst Swine Flu requires a team effort.

Parents and teachers need to work together to avoid an increase in swine flu cases as children go back to school, NSW Health says. “Schools play an important role in reinforcing good hygiene practices and helping parents and children understand how to minimise the spread of infection,” Dr Chant said. “It is important parents keep their children away from school if they develop influenza-like symptoms and we ask families, friends and the wider community to work together to make this happen wherever possible.”

One big way that schools and parents can work together is by installing washable keyboards at home and around schools. These cleanable keyboards are sanitary keyboards and also heavy duty keyboard, a durable keyboard, and a waterproof keyboard. You can wipe them down with antibacterial soap.
