The update on plans to provide for the use of antigen testing in certain circumstances
in children who are asymptomatic and part of a classroom pod, where there is a confirmed
case of COVID-19 can be found HERE.
The most important way to protect against any onward spread of infection is that if
your child has any symptoms of COVID-19, including a new cough, shortness of
breath, high temperature, sore throat, they should self-isolate at home and you
should book a COVID-19 PCR test for them. PCR tests can be booked here:
