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.
