Dear Parents,

Singapore is currently experiencing a historically high number of dengue(登革热) cases.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) is strongly encouraging all residents staying in dengue cluster areas to:

Spray insecticides in dark corners at home (e.g. behind curtains and under beds);

Apply insect repellent(驱虫剂) regularly;

Wear long-sleeve tops and long pants.

Our school is located in or near a dengue cluster area with 208 cases by 28 July 2020.To protect your child from dengue, NEA will be providing a bottle of repellent to him/her, for your family's use. In addition, RVPS will also be providing each RVian two complimentary pieces of mosquito patches.

You are strongly advised to consider applying insect repellent on your children before they leave home for school. Students are also encouraged to bring the insect repellent to school for re-application, before they leave school for home. Our teachers will also be conducting a lesson on dengue prevention for all RVians this Friday.

Do remind your family members to apply insect repellent too. The guideline on the use of insect repellent spray is attached for your reference.

Thank you.

Warm regards,

Mdm Wong Li Peng

Principal
