Meltham CE Primary SchoolCOVID-19
All restrictions, provisions and government protocol in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic has now been withdrawn. Should further legislation or mitigation against infection be necessary, the school will contact all parents with advice.
The latest information and guidance we have on COVID-19 from local government is:
Your child is no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if they have symptoms.
But IF your child has tested positive for COVID-19, they should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test.
If your child has mild symptoms including general cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat, or slight cough, and feels well enough, they can go to school.
However, children should not be sent to school if:
· they have a temperature of 38°C or above or
· they do not feel well enough to go to school or do their normal activities.
