We have now had advice from our Local Authority and Public Health England which states that if your child is aged 5 – 18yrs 6mnth and identified as a close contact then they should take a daily lateral flow, every day for 7 days. If the test comes back negative they should continue to come to school. A positive lateral flow result should be followed up with a pcr test.
I would urge parents of children age 5+ in orange class to follow this advice and begin daily lateral flow testing immediately with their child.
Thank you.
