Coronavirus Update
SA Health has provided updated advice to us about Novel Coronavirus, which is occurring in the Hubei Province of China and has also been reported in other parts of mainland China, and several other countries, including Australia.
SA Health has further clarified their advice to us in relation to Novel Coronavirus.
The updated advice is that:
• Students/children who have travelled to Hubei Province in the last 14 days must not attend school and must isolate themselves in their homes for 14 days after leaving Hubei Province.
• People who have been in contact with any confirmed novel coronavirus cases must be isolated in their home for 14 days following exposure.
• Students/children who have travelled to mainland China, not including Hubei Province, are able to return to school unless they are contacts of a confirmed case, or they have symptoms consistent with the virus.
• All students and staff who have travelled to mainland China should monitor themselves for the 14 days from their departure from mainland China for symptoms of Coronavirus.
Symptoms may include: fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and sore throat.
