With the huge amount of information and changing guidelines, it is understandable that the school’s procedures around Covid-19 can seem confusing.
In the first instance, if a child shows any of the following symptoms, parents must keep them away from school and ensure that they are tested:
- A new, continuous cough (where you cough a lot for more than an hour, or have three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours)
- Fever – where your temperature is above 37.8C
- Loss of smell or taste
In addition, the table below includes specific details about what to do in different situations for anyone else in their household (for instance, if a sibling shows symptoms.)
