COVID-19

If your child is displaying any of the symptoms of COVID-19 they MUST NOT attend school and if you have access to an LFT or PCR test this is recommended. 

Symptoms of COVID-19 (as taken from www.nhs.uk) are recent onset of any of the following:

• a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
• shortness of breath
• feeling tired or exhausted
• an aching body
• a headache
• a sore throat
• a blocked or runny nose
• loss of appetite
• diarrhoea
• feeling sick or being sick

The symptoms are very similar to symptoms of other illnesses, such as colds and flu.
