COVID-19

As a precaution, we are asking all parents and guardians be alert to any symptoms of COVID-19:

If your child develops any of these symptoms, even if they are mild:

Book a test for them by phoning 119 or through the online portal: https://www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test
Inform King Henry School absence line (01873 735345) that they are unwell with COVID-19 symptoms and that you have requested a test
Your child should self-isolate for 10 days from when their symptoms started
All other household members should isolate for 10 days from when your child developed symptoms
Do not visit a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital but if you require medical advice please contact NHS 111 or telephone your GP; if there is a medical emergency phone 999
Please follow the advice provided when your child receives their test result

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading, there are things that everyone in your family can do to help. These include:

Washing hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
Using hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
Washing hands as soon as they get home
Covering their mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve (not their hands) when they cough or sneeze
Putting used tissues in the bin immediately and washing hands afterwards
