Dear parents / carers,
We are finding that there are some children who are coming into Nursery suffering from symptoms which may be a sign that they may have the Covid-19 virus.
If children come into Nursery with a main symptom e.g. coughing, then they will be sent home and are advised to have a full PCR test. This guidance is from the Health protection hub and is in place to try to minimise the spread of infection.
The latest covid guidance for Telford and Wrekin can be found here – Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Telford & Wrekin Council
Main symptoms are listed as
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
Precautionary symptoms on here are outlined as
You are advised to book a COVID-19 test as a precaution, if you are showing some other symptoms that you might have this virus, such as:
- headaches
- aches and pains
- feeling very tired for no good reason
- sore throat
- runny nose
- sneezing
- tummy ache in children.
We will always follow the guidance from the hub to keep our staff and pupils as safe as possible.
Thank you for your continued support
Miss Cook
