In the event of a positive case within the school community, the person who tests positive will be asked to self-isolate for 10 days as per government guidelines.

Children under 18 and in full time education are exempt from close contact isolation and can continue to attend school if they remain symptom free. Adults who are double vaccinated can attend work as usual provided they remain symptom free. Everyone will be asked to continue to use lateral flow tests.

Guidance for households with symptoms:

• If you live alone and you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), however mild, stay at home for 7 days from when your symptoms started

• If you live with others and a member of the household has symptoms of coronavirus, then only household members over 18 who are not double vaccinated must stay at home for 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill.

• Anyone in the household who starts displaying symptoms will need to stay at home for 7 days from when the symptoms appeared, regardless of what day they are on in the original 14-day isolation period

The symptoms are:

• A high temperature (37.8 degrees and above)
• A new, continuous cough
• A loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)
