|
Letter sent out to parents offering advice on supporting children A child at Chiswick School has tested positive for Covid-19. The headteacher, Laura Ellener has sent a letter to parents informing them that the school was notified of the single positive test this Sunday evening (20 September). The school will remain open and all parents were advised to continue sending their children to school unless they were unwell. She said that the school continues to monitor the situation and work closely with Public Health England and offered assurance that, for most people, Covid-19 is a mild illness. Public Health England has asked the school to remind parents of the symptoms of the virus which most commonly are the recent onset of a new continuous cough and/or a high temperature and a lost or change in normal sense of taste or smell. If a child does develop these symptoms then advice should be sought from NHS 111. In the most recent week for which figures are available (11 – 17 September) there were only 4 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Chiswick.
