COVID Overview Advice

St Angela's Ursuline COVID Overview Advice

If your child has a high temperature, a new and continuous cough, loss or change to sense of smell or taste, they must have a PCR test.
 
If a family member tests positive, it is advised that all of the family take a PCR test at a test centre.  The NHS will then guide you with your family's next steps using the guidelines below.

When to self-isolate:

  • It's now a legal requirement to self-isolate if told to do so by the NHS Test and Trace.
  • COVID symptoms - PCR test (high temperature, a new and continuous cough, loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
  • Self-isolate if you have tested positive for COVID-19
  • Due to quarantine rules on arrival in England

When NOT to self-isolate:

  • Fully vaccinated - this means 14 days have passed since your final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • You are under 18 years and 6 months old
  • You are taking part or have taken part in a COVID-19 vaccine trial
  • You are not able to get vaccinated for medical reasons
If you are uncertain please call the school for advice.
