Dear Parents and Caregivers
With school due to start in just over a week, I am closely monitoring information being provided by the Health Department, in regard to the Coronavirus. The latest information from them and the Ministry of Education, is that the risk of an outbreak in New Zealand is currently low and that there is no specific action to be taken at this time.
Just to reaffirm, there are no cases of the virus in New Zealand at the time of this post. Should the situation change, as we do with other infectious diseases such as measles, mumps and influenza, the school will follow our pandemic plan for managing the illness, and we will keep you well informed as we do so.
For those of you concerned about possible infection, the Ministry of Health has provided practical information on their website which we encourage you to read –Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) guidance – Ministry of Health website.
Please ensure you promptly read all future posts sent from school with the title
IMPORTANT:Coronavirus Update
Kind regards
Janine

亲爱的家长和看护者
由于学校将在一周内开学，因此我正在密切监视卫生部门提供的有关冠状病毒的信息。他们和教育部提供的最新信息是，新西兰爆发疫情的风险目前较低，目前尚无具体行动。
必须要重申的是，在这篇文章发表之时，新西兰还没有该病毒的病例。如果情况发生变化，例如其他传染性疾病（麻疹，腮腺炎和流感）一样，学校将按照我们的疾病大漫延计划来管理该疾病，我们将会在所有的过程中为您提供充分的信息。
对于那些担心可能受到感染的人，卫生部在其网站上提供了实用信息，我们鼓励您阅读 – 新型冠状病毒（2019-nCoV）指南 – 卫生部网站。
请确保您及时阅读学校发出的，标题为冠状病毒更新的所有简讯。
