We have very recently received an update from the Department of Education relating to Self Isolation for pupils following the new guidance. Updated guidance around Covid came into place on February 24th 2022.
Self Isolation.
If someone develops symptoms or has a positive test result the guidance still advises people to stay at home to avoid passing the infection on to others. Pupils may no longer be infectious after 5 days and so as previously, if pupils have no temperature and negative Lateral Flow tests on day 5 and 6 the risk of them being infectious greatly reduces and can safely return to school.
The schools operational guidance outlines that in most cases parents and carers agree that a pupil with the key symptoms should not attend school given the potential risk to others and it is necessary to protect other pupils and staff from possible infection with Covid-19.
Thankyou for your assistance.
