 | | Outbreaks of influenza-like illness (ILI) in over 20 schools that are linked to the deaths of three children have caused the government to shut all schools in Hong Kong for two weeks, keeping half a million children away, reported Reuters. |
 | | In the meantime, the Hong Kong Department of Health suggests people boost their immune system against the flu by "having a proper diet, regular exercise, and adequate rests, reducing stress and avoiding smoking". |
 | | Hong Kong's hotline for seasonal flu information is on telephone number 2125-1133, open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm (provided by Centre for Health Protection, CHP). |
