Parents are not to send their children to school if they have conjunctivitis.
This is the statement by the Minister for Education Dr Mahendra Reddy who says that children with conjunctivitis must seek medical advice and must stay home until fully recovered.
Reddy says that he has written a circular to their staff not to have anyone in school with the pink eye disease as it can infect other children.
Meanwhile, 1,770 cases have been recorded in Suva over the last 2 weeks.
