COVID Advice 2023

What happens if a staff member or my child tests positive for COVID-19?

For children and young people aged 18 and under who test positive for COVID-19, the advice is to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for three days. This is because children and young people tend to be infectious to other people for less time than adults.

Adults with a positive COVID-19 test result are advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for five days, which is when they are most infectious.

The UKHSA has also published public health guidance on living safely with respiratory infections, including COVID-19.

How do I report this?

As usual, please call the absence line, or email us to report the absence. 

Evidence of the positive test must be sent to the @INFO.
