CORONAVIRUS – a reminder of the advice

If someone in your household shows any signs of the virus (high temperature and/ or dry, persistent cough and/or aching/ loss of appetite), then that person must self-isolate for 7 days and the other members of the household must self-isolate for 14 days. None of your household should leave the house for any reason during this time.         Note: Self-isolation for a remaining cough after 7 days is not necessary as the cough can linger for a few days, even weeks, after having the virus.    Do NOT call 111 unless there are serious concerns - ie the person ill has underlying health issues or the symptoms get worse. You can get advice online from 111: https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19/.  Trace & test information HERE

Most people will have mild symptons and will recover normally.

Coronavirus tests available to anyone in UK with symptoms as ...

If your child is due in school and your house is self-isolating, you must ring school to inform us of him/her not attending and the reasons why – as we would normally do for any absence.      In the meantime: Please ensure you have instructed your children how to wash their hands correctly as we have been doing in school - the school does still have a high supply of soap & hand sanitiser.
