RULES

What should I do if my child has COVID19 symptoms?

  • If your child has any of the main COVID19 symptoms (a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change to sense of smell or taste), they should not attend school and should stay at home.
  • You should arrange for them to get a PCR test and tell your child’s school the test results.
  • Your child should not attend school while you are waiting for test results, even if they are feeling better.
  • If the test is negative, they should go to school as normal.
  • If they test positive, they should continue to isolate and follow public health advice.

What happens if my child has been in contact with someone with COVID-19 symptoms? (for example in their class)

If your child has been identified as a close contact, you will be advised (by text from school) that your child takes a PCR test. They will not have to self-isolate and they CAN attend school, unless they have a positive PCR test result.
