Overwhelmingly, these will be no cause for concern in the end so please do try not to worry unduly. Your child may develop symptoms such as a runny nose and\/or sore throat. Please be aware that these are NOT identified by PHE as COVID-19 symptoms, and that the three main symptoms of COVID-19 in children have been identified as being the same as those in adults, namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a new, continuous cough<\/li>\n<li>a high temperature<\/li>\n<li>a loss of sense of taste or smell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to stop COVID-19 spreading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are the things we all\u00a0<u>must<\/u>\u00a0do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19 and we are reinforcing this with the students too:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>wash your hands with soap and water often \u2013 do this for at least 20 seconds<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>wash your hands as soon as you get home<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you\u00a0<\/strong><strong>cough or sneeze<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Further Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Further information is available at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/coronavirus-covid-19\/\">https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/coronavirus-covid-19\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rule of Six<br \/>\n<\/strong>This rule does not apply to students in school of course, but it does once they have left the site. We are urging students to disperse from school quickly and be sensible and considerate in local shops, supermarkets and on public transport. These rules ask that others make sacrifices so that school can remain open. We know that the vast majority of our students automatically behave respectfully in public but I ask that you take time to reinforce this with your own children too.
