1. Learn about chickenpox and report to your teacher if you find any suspicious symptoms of respiratory infectious diseases. Students suffering from chickenpox should go to the hospital promptly and rest at home. Chickenpox is highly contagious and should be isolated and treated early until the blisters dry up, scab over and fall off, and they can return to school only after recovery (it takes more than 12 days from onset to recovery).
