Dear parents, 
致家长

Thank you to those families who have responded to the request to voluntarily self-isolate because of travel in the past 14 days. We have had 100% support with this. 
感谢那些旅行后自我隔离14天的家庭，百分之百的家长都同意了这条规定。

A number of families are in the situation where a parent has recently returned from travel but their child hasn’t travelled. They are asking us ‘should the child also self-isolate’.
有些家长在没带孩子在独自旅行的情况下，询问 “孩子们是否也需要隔离”。

The Ministry of Health has the following advice on this:
新西兰卫生部有以下建议：
If you have recently returned from travel and are in a home where the others who live with you haven’t travelled or been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, you should minimise close contact with them by avoiding situations where you have face-to-face contact closer than 2 metres for more than 15 minutes.
如果你最近刚从旅行归来，并且家里还有没旅行的人与您共同居住，请勿面对面近距离接触小于2米多于15分钟，并避免传染 COVID-19 病毒。
You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, pillows or other items with other people in your home. After using these items, you should wash them thoroughly with soap and water, place them in the dishwasher for cleaning or wash them in your washing machine.
请不要和共同与您居住一起的人分享您的盘子，喝水杯，杯子，食物，家庭用具，毛巾，枕头或其他物品。用完之后，请及时用肥皂和温水清洗。请放入餐具清洗器或清洁机器里清洗。
The other household residents do not need to self-isolate provided these precautions are followed.
如果您遵循以下建议，家里其他居住的人不需要自我隔离。
My interpretation of this advice is:
我对这条建议的理解是：
If a member of your home has recently returned from travel and you have not followed the self-isolation advice above, you should take the precautionary measure to protect those around you – your family, friends, colleagues – from contracting COVID-19 by also self-isolating your child for 14 days.
如果您的家庭成员最近刚从旅行归来但是没有遵守这条建议，那您应该通过预防措施来保护您的家人，朋友，以及同事，而免受COVID-19感染 - 请让您的孩子自我隔离14天来避免感染。
Our teachers will continue to share work with those students who are self-isolating and we also have a team working in the background to prepare us for ‘distance learning’ in the future if this should be required.
我们学校的老师们会继续在网上与自我隔离的学生分享工作。我们还会有一个团队在准备在网上上课，“远程学习”，来以防万一。
I’d like to reiterate that the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 is:
