BMC circular on new dos and don'ts upsets schools
Health experts believe that the second wave of swine flu virus will strike the city by the end of this month or the beginning of December and in an attempt to contain the spread, the BMC issued circulars, to serve as guidelines, across all schools in the city.
The guidelines have to be implemented now, but schools say it is practically impossible to follow.
The BMC guidelines say: Parents teachers' meetings, open house, inter-schoolu00a0 competitions, sports days, cultural events, picnics should be avoided for six months as a matter of precaution.
No alert
Executive health officer for the BMC Jayraj Thanekar said that no alert for the second wave had been sounded, but, "Experts predict that the second wave will come in by the end of the month or early December.
We don't want to spread any panic yet though by sounding an alert."
