(i) To stop the flu from spreading, the school should quickly identify and send sick students home. Regular cleaning of benches, doorknobs and washrooms is important. The school should encourage handwashing, provide sanitizers and ask students to wear masks. Morning announcements can raise awareness. Teachers should ensure physical distancing and monitor for symptoms. These steps together can reduce the risk of infection and protect everyone in school from falling ill.
(ii) If my benchmate shows flu symptoms, I would kindly say, “You don’t seem well, maybe you should visit the nurse.” I wouldn’t blame or embarrass them but show care for their health. I’d keep some distance for safety while remaining friendly. This shows concern without being rude. Staying respectful helps maintain friendship while also protecting myself and others from getting sick. It’s important to act with both care and caution.
(iii) To protect myself and others, I would wear a mask, wash my hands frequently and avoid touching my face. I’d avoid close contact with anyone sneezing or coughing and wouldn’t share food, bottles or stationery. I’d inform a teacher if someone looks very sick. Following hygiene rules, covering my nose when sneezing and staying home if I feel unwell are all important steps to stop flu from spreading at school.
