Dear Parent/Guardian,
We all must remain vigilant for the symptoms of COVID-19, and understand what actions are required should someone develop symptoms either at home or in the school setting. If your child or anyone in your household develops any of the following symptoms of COVID-19 they should stay home and arrange to get tested as soon as possible –
- A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it maybe worse than usual)
- A high temperature/fever – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- A loss of or change in sense of smell or taste.
Please see the attached PHA guidance for parents. It is very important that you familiarise yourself with this guidance. It might be useful to print this leaflet and refer to it, if you are in doubt.
If you have any worries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
As a school community, we pray that everyone stays safe and well. We are all working together to play our part and keep each other safe.
Kind Regards,
Louise Quinn
