Dear Parents/Guardians,
There is another positive case of Covid within this class bubble:
- Primary 3 Mrs McCormack's class: (total of 7 within 10 days)
Even if your child has no new symptoms, we are asking pupils in Mrs McCormack's P3 class class to undertake a lateral flow COVID test (LFT) at home before coming back into school, Thursday 27th January 2022.
At this time please remain vigilant for the signs and symptoms of Covid-19.
The current advice remains that if a child aged 5 and over, or a staff member, develops new symptoms of COVID-19 they should isolate and arrange a PCR. A PCR test should then be booked via gov.uk or by telephoning 119. This applies even if they have had COVID-19 within the previous 90 days or have had a negative
lateral flow result on the same day as developing symptoms or a negative PCR test prior to developing symptoms.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are recent onset of:
- A new continuous cough and/or
- A high temperature and/or
- A loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia).
If anyone within your household tests positive for Covid-19 or are awaiting test results, please inform us before you send your child to school.
Kind Regards,
Mrs S. McCafferty
