Important Information for Y4 Parents/Carers

25th October 2020
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS OF YEAR 4 CHILDREN:
 
We have been informed this evening that a child in Year 4 has tested positive for Covid-19.
 
THE CHILD HAS BEEN IN SELF-ISOLATION SINCE FRIDAY 15TH OCTOBER FOLLOWING ANOTHER HOUSEHOLD MEMBER DEVELOPING SYMPTOMS.
 
I have come into school, spoken with the parent of the child and sought advice from Public Health England.
 
The child who has tested positive has NOT been in close contact with any pupils or members of staff at Lemington Riverside for the past 10 days and therefore NO children or staff are required to self-isolate OR take a test.
 
If your child or anybody in your household develops any of the Covid-19 symptoms (high temperature, new continuous cough, change/loss of taste/smell) you should self-isolate immediately and seek a test.
 
PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTACT SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY IF YOUR CHILD (OR ANYBODY IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD) DEVELOPS SYMPTOMS OR TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. YOU SHOULD EMAIL US: admin@lemingtonriverside.newcastle.sch.uk#
 
We will then contact Public Health and advise any close contacts if they need to self-isolate. Thank you for your support with this.
