I think if your children have contact with persons coming from the effected areas of Africa, then there is reason for concern! Hopefully all of the steps they are taking to make sure infected people don't get into the general population will work. I have my doubts.

If (and we hope it doesn't) this virus spreads, then there shouldn't be any hugging or physical contact as not only would you be at risk, but you could spread the virus to other children or

their families.

I'm not lecturing you, you probably know all of this yourself and will take all precautions needed.

Thank you for clarifying your post, I appreciate it very much.
