In light of the first confirmed case in South Africa yesterday of

the Novel Coronavirus known as COVID-19 or 2019-nCov, we

emailed Coronavirus information received from ISASA

(Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa) as well

as our expectations with respect to this virus.

This information is particularly relevant for families travelling

overseas during the April school holidays or who are expecting

visitors from any of the affected areas, both at home and

abroad.

In short:

Avoid travel to affected areas (these include but are not

limited to China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Iran,

Thailand and Italy). A list of countries affected can be found

at this link: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

#countries

Visit your medical practitioner should you experience

respiratory symptoms within 14 days of travelling to

affected areas.

Maintain good personal hygiene by washing your hands

regularly with soap or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

In order to protect the whole Dainfern College community, our

expectation is that you will take responsible precautions should

you travel to any affected areas or have contact with anyone

who has travelled from these areas. If you do have any

concerns about potential contacts, please consult a doctor and

do not send your child to school.

Further detail about our expectation was included in the mail

sent to our community yesterday.

Please contact the school should you have any concerns.
