Swine Flu

The recent scare has taken the world by surprise. The swine influenza virus has caused more than 160 deaths and has also been reported to have sickened more than 5000 people all across Mexico. Swine influenza is a mix of pig, bird and human genes and is an airborne virus that can be caught by exposure to the live animal, and be transmitted from human to human via liquid particles in breath. It is not transmitted by eating pork.

In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of the common influenza illness. The symptoms include:

- chills

- fever

- sore throat

- muscle pain

- severe headaches

- coughing

- weakness and general discomforts

As a conclusion, for those who are affected by the symptoms as above, please QUARANTINE yourself at home and NOT to attend any tuition classes at MB TUITION CENTRE. Your co-operation will be appreciated.
