Dear Parents,
You should be well aware of the recent worrying outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan which may gradually spread to other areas of China in the days and weeks to come. At Harrow we are taking a number of preventative precautionary steps as part of our Infectious Disease Response Plan to minimize any risk to our children and staff, and I wanted to write to you to outline these as a matter of reassurance.
您应该很清楚最近在武汉爆发的令人担忧的新型冠状病毒，它可能在未来几天或几周内逐渐蔓延到中国其他地区。在哈罗，我们正在采取一系列预防措施，作为传染病应对计划的一部分，以最大限度地减少可能对我们的学生及教职员工所造成的风险。
- We ask that any families who may be traveling to the Wuhan area during the CNY holiday communicate to the school prior to their return so that we are aware.
