Following advice from the Ministry of Education and the identification of the first case of the virus in New Zealand, the same advice remains for our students. Risk remains low of the spread of the virus and we remind the community to take normal precautions – practising good hand and sneeze/cough hygiene is the best defence:
– wash your hands often with soap and water before and after eating as well as after attending the toilet,
– cover coughs and sneezes with clean tissues or your elbow,
– put used tissues in the bin and
– stay at home if feeling unwell.
