For education settings, the following guidance is now in place.
- Children with mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or mild cough, who are otherwise well, can continue to attend their education or childcare setting.
- Children and young people who are not well enough to attend school or have a high temperature should stay at home and where possible avoid contact with other people. They can go back to education or childcare setting when they no longer have a high temperature and/or they are well enough.
- If a child or young person has a positive COVID-19 test result they should try to stay at home and where possible avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day, they took the test.
If you are concerned that your child is unwell with symptoms of Covid-19, we recommend you seek medical advice.
- What will the school do if a child or member of staff receives a positive Covid-19 test result?
As part of our risk assessment, we expect pupils and staff who test positive for Covid-19 to follow the government guidance:
Pupils - try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day you took the test.
Staff - try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took the test. - What should I do if my child is unwell but is not displaying Covid-19 symptoms?
Where a child has an illness that does not display COVID-19 symptoms, or has had a negative test and is still unwell, you will be expected to follow the schools/settings usual sickness policy. For example, this may mean keeping the child at home for 48 hours from their last episode of diarrhoea or vomiting and until they are well enough to return.
