Nanjing part of the school to postpone student outing to the prevention and control of H7N9 avian flu
2013 04 08, 2010 4:54 Modern Express I have something to say ( 50 people involved)
　　Express (Reporter Huang Yan) yesterday, many primary and secondary schools in Nanjing gave parents sent SMS, fever, cough and other respiratory symptoms students not to attend school, to timely treatment, but also pay attention to the health. District education departments have also issued a notice requiring schools to strengthen the prevention and control of human infection with the H7N9 avian influenza. Some schools also postpone the outing.

When I read the machine translation, an interpretation that seems more likely to me is that some field trips are being cancelled, merely as a general measure for "the prevention and control of H7N9." To me it sounds like text messages ("SMS") were sent to "parents" at "many primary and secondary schools" to the effect that they should keep their kids home if they develop "fever, cough and other respiratory symptoms," and that they should give them "timely treatment." Schools were also given a notice requiring them to strengthen disease prevention and infection control measures. And some schools are also postponing field trips.

In other words, to me it doesn't sound like any students have been kept home BECAUSE of fever, cough or respiratory symptoms. It doesn't sound to me like any students are known to be sick. Rather, it sounds to me like this is all prevention.

But, I haven't seen -- and couldn't read -- the original Chinese language text....

Thanks for your comments biologist. I have reviewed the translation and changed the title of the thread to make it more clear.
