NSW Government asks parents who travelled to China to not send children to school | ABC News

Children who have returned from China in the past two weeks will be asked to stay away from New South Wales schools, due to concerns over the potential spread of the novel coronavirus. Students are due to return to government schools for the first day of term one tomorrow. The NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard and Education Minister Sarah Mitchell say while the risk of the virus spreading is low, they are acting as a precaution given the incubation period can be up to 14 days.
