Many schools are sending their students to China this June. I am worried about the ones going, and I am equally concerned when they come back to school.
Schools/ MOE and parents are usually very careful. If there are outbreak in surrounding area, I think they will call off those trips. Kids' school was planning for Japan but due to the earthquake, radiation, etc... they dropped the idea.
The school is planning a trip to HK at year end for some competition/ exchange.... Wonder if due to outbreak they will cancel it.
Frankly... for me to go to Shanghai for business trip now, I am also feeling :nailbite: One of my colleagues had flu after coming back from China and had to go through 2 course of antibiotic. Heard her family got it too. Subsequently another who didn't go but is close to this person got it and she is on mc.
Dd was having stomach flu recently and she probably got it from her friends. Doc said it is airborne. -
Schools usually ask parents to fill in a form to find out travel plans during the school holidays.
