In line with this advice, students and teachers who have travelled to Hubei Province in China should not attend school or university until 14 days after leaving Hubei.
Children, students, teachers and people who work in childcare who have travelled to other parts of China are not required to stay away from childcare, preschool, school or university unless you:
