What If…?
Updated 1st April 2022.
With the withdrawal of free testing, parents are asked to be vigilant for possible symptoms and to keep children away from school if they are showing possible symptoms of Covid-19 or other respiratory illnesses. They can return to school once they are feeling better.
Should your child test positive, they should isolate for at least 3 days, to cover the period when they are most infectious. Adults are advised to isolate for at least 5 days.
The County Council and UK Health Security Agency will also issue advice to schools inline with the local and national picture; they may issue instructions for schools in an area to bring in certain protocols, depending on what is relevant at the time. Should there be any changes, we will keep you fully informed.
