最近更新日期：2020年2月2日

2019年12月末在中国武汉发现新型冠状病毒的爆发。所报道的病例大部分都在中国大陆及其它国家，澳大利亚维州亦发现确诊病例。

这是什么病毒？

冠状病毒能让人和动物都生病。有些冠状病毒能引起和感冒相似的疾病，有些能导致更严重的疾病，比如严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）和中东呼吸综合征（MERS）。

在中国大陆发现的病毒叫“新型冠状病毒”，因为是一种新的病毒。在本次爆发前从未遇到过。大多数感染此病毒的人住在或去过中国大陆。其它国家也报道了2019-nCoV病例。病毒最初可能来自一种动物，没有证据表明人与人之间会传播。

有哪些症状？

症状包括发烧、咳嗽、嗓子疼或呼吸困难。感染病毒后14天之内会出现症状。

如果我的孩子身体没问题，但过去14天里曾经去过中国大陆或其它有病例的国家，现在要回学校或早期儿童教育服务机构，那现在应该怎么办？

属于以下情况的儿童和学生应自我隔离，建议呆在家里并避免公共场所（包括不要去学校或早期儿童教育服务机构：

• 去过湖北省的人，直到离开湖北省14天之后；

• 2020年2月1日或之后去过中国大陆的人，直到离开中国大陆14天之后；

• 与已确认的病例有过近距离接触的人，直到脱离这种近距离接触14天之后。

身体没有问题的儿童和学生如果去过其它据报道有病例的地区，不建议与学校或早期儿童教育服务机构隔离，除非有以下情况：

• 此人已确认携带新型冠状病毒

• 此人在过去14天里与已确认携带新型冠状病毒的人有过近距离接触。

如果我的孩子现在不舒服或在过去14天里去过中国大陆，那应该怎么办？

• 去看医生，但如果你有口罩，先给你的孩子戴上口罩，在去看医生或去医院之前先打电话。告诉他们你的孩子去过中国大陆。

• 当你到医院或诊所时，告诉他们你的孩子去过中国大陆什么地方。确保你到医疗单位之前或一到就让你的孩子戴上口罩。

如果你的孩子有严重的症状，比如呼吸困难：

• 拨000要救护车，并

• 告诉急救人员你的孩子去过中国。

我如何协助防止2019-nCoV的传播？

注意洗手、盖住喷嚏/咳嗽等良好的卫生习惯是最好的防御。最重要的是：

• 要用肥皂和水洗干净手

• 用胳膊肘盖住咳嗽和喷嚏

Coronavirus 1 February Update

As you may be aware, the situation regarding the emerging outbreak of novel coronavirus has continued to evolve.

The Commonwealth’s Chief Medical Officer and Victoria’s Chief Health Officer have this afternoon recommended a stronger precautionary approach to managing coronavirus for travellers returned from mainland China (not including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) from today (1 February 2020).

This recommendation is that parents/guardians/carers should ensure that any student returning from mainland China (not including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) who was in mainland China on or after 1 February 2020 is isolated at home and should not attend school until 14 days after they were last in mainland China.

This recommendation does not apply retrospectively. It applies only to students who were in mainland China on or after 1 February 2020.

The existing advice remains that parents/guardians/carers of students should ensure that any student is isolated at home and should not attend school for 14 days:

or after leaving Hubei Province.
following exposure to any confirmed novel coronavirus case;

This same advice applies to any impacted staff.

The Commonwealth has also advised that: “additional border measures will be implemented to deny entry to Australia to people who have left or transited through mainland China from 1 February 2020, with the exception of Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate family and air crews who have been using appropriate personal protective equipment”.

Schools should inform their staff, students and families of this new advice through your school’s communication channels with parents.

Please refer to the Department’s coronavirus web page, where the latest advice including factsheets (with translations) for schools and parents will be uploaded as soon as available.

Additional advice and information on the steps to take can be found on the coronavirus web page which also includes advice on:

continuity of learning for students who are not attending school
international students and families hosting
international travel
maintaining good health hygiene at school
health promotion posters and materials
information, resources and contacts related to coronavirus
