Statement:if you have a cold, you should stay at home

Are you not feeling well or do you have a cold? Go to school anyway. It distracts you and if it doesn't work, you can always go home. Most of us were probably raised with this idea. Belgian flu commissioner Marc van Ranst thinks differently; "It is better not to work if you have a cold."

Stay at home
That's what he said on the radio yesterday. "Even if you're not really sick, you'd better stay home." That would ensure that colds cannot spread further. If you do go to work, that is 'not brave, but selfish'.

Just work
Self-employed organization NSZ thinks staying at home with a cold is not a good idea. 'Shouldn't you come home if your partner and/or children have a cold?'
