SWD child care centres to resume classes
****************************************

    The Social Welfare Department announces that parents can bring their children back to child care centres (including special child care centres) starting from Monday (March 31).

    The department has sent guidelines issued by the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health to all child care centres to urge them to be vigilant in strengthening preventive measures against the spread of influenza in centres.

    The department also advises parents to pay attention to the health condition of their children.  Children who fall ill should stay at home for more rest and should not be brought back to the child care centres.
