The order will be applicable with immediate effect on schools in all the 4 zones of Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam of the union territory in view of the viral type of influenza.
Keeping children alert is a big responsibility
Apart from Puducherry, with the increase in the number of H1N1 cases in Tamil Nadu, there is also a possibility of increase in H3N2 in other states. Due to which holidays have been announced for the school children. Earlier, ICMR had instructed the States and Union Territories to be vigilant against the spread of H3N2.
If health experts are to be believed, Tamil Nadu Pondicherry has very few testing facilities for diagnosis of H3N2 influenza virus and very little difference is being told between Corona and H3N2. In such a situation, keeping children alert becomes a big responsibility.
