Answer 1

Answer:

Dear Parent/Guardian,

A new coronavirus called 2019 Novel (new) Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was first found in Wuhan,

Hubei Province, China. This virus had not been found in humans before. This coronavirus can

lead to fever, cough and trouble breathing or shortness of breath. There are thousands of

diagnosed cases in China and new cases being diagnosed in a number of countries including

the United States.

What do we know?

Since this virus is very new, health authorities continue to carefully watch how this virus

spreads. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working hard to learn as

much as possible about this new virus, so that we can better understand how it spreads and

causes illness. The CDC considers this virus to be a serious public health concern. Based on

current information the CDC recommends avoiding travel to China. Updated travel information

related to 2019-nCoV can be found at

How Does 2019 Novel (New) Coronavirus Spread?

Health experts believe the virus probably spreads from animals to humans and from person to

person. It’s not clear yet how easily the virus spreads from person-to-person.

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov) is not currently a concern for the general public and

is not actively circulating among New Yorkers at this time. Therefore, there is no need to cancel

school or social events, and there is no need for students or school staff to wear surgical masks

at school.

Prevention

There are currently no vaccines available to protect against this virus. The New York State

Department of Health (DOH) recommends the following ways to minimize the spread of all

respiratory viruses, including 2019-nCoV:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-

based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not

available.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Stay home when you are sick.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing

or sneezing. If you use a tissue, throw it in the trash.

• Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

• CDC recommends that travelers avoid all travel to China.

Symptoms

Information to date suggests that 2019-nCoV causes mild-to-moderate illness and symptoms

like the flu, including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.
