Dear NU Community, The International Children's Day is celebrated worldwide to promote children's rights, well-being, and happiness and to remind us of our collective responsibility to ensure that every child grows up in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. Whether we are parents, guardians, educators, or community members, we all play a crucial role in protecting and advocating for the children’s rights and safety. On this important occasion, let us to remind everyone once again of some key measures for children's safety and well-being: - Always ensure that children are under appropriate supervision. This is especially important during events and activities where there are large crowds or unfamiliar environments. - Make sure that children know basic emergency procedures, such as how to dial emergency services and what to do in case of a fire or other urgent situations.  - Teach children to be cautious of strangers and never to go anywhere with someone they do not know and refuse taking anything from the unknown people if left alone.  - With the increasing use of technology, it's essential to educate children about the potential risks of the internet. Teach them about privacy settings, the importance of not sharing personal information, and how to recognize and report inappropriate content or behavior. For more information on online safety, please refer to this link. - Keep windows locked and secure to prevent falls. Install window guards or stops to ensure they can't be opened wide enough for a child to climb out. For more detailed information on window safety, please refer to this link. - Whether playing sports or simply enjoying outdoor activities, ensure that children use appropriate safety gear, such as helmets and knee pads, and understand the rules to prevent injuries. - Help children learn how to swim and supervise them closely when they are in or near water, whether it's a pool, lake, or ocean. Make sure they wear appropriate flotation devices if necessary. For more information on drowning prevention, please refer to the link. - Encourage good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, and ensure that children are up-to-date with their vaccinations to protect them from preventable diseases.

Symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, vomiting, and in severe cases — respiratory or neurological complications. The incubation period may last up to 14 days.  According to the guidance of the Committee of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan, no cases of Nipah virus have been registered in Kazakhstan to date, but if you are traveling to or transiting through India please inform the Health and Well-being Department by email: hse@nu.edu.kz and follow the medical observation for 14 days upon arrival.
