Dear Parents/Guardians,
There are positive cases of Covid-19 within the following class bubbles reported today:
- Primary 4 Miss Gillespie's class: 2 (total of 6 within 10 days)
- Primary 5 Miss Sherry's class: 1 (total of 3 within 10 days)
There is now a confirmed cluster within Miss Gillespies class. Even if your child has no new symptoms, we are asking pupils in Miss Gillespie’s P4 class to undertake a lateral flow COVID test (LFT) at home before coming back into school tomorrow. Please see letter attached from the PHA.
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
