Clear guidelines on students feeling unwell/suspected Covid-19 case

07 Oct 2020

• If a student is unwell they should not come to school until they are feeling better. • If parents are concerned that a student may have symptoms of Covid-19, the child should not attend school and they should contact their GP. The school should be contacted with this information. • If a GP decides the symptoms are consistent with Covid-19 that person becomes a suspected case and will be referred for a Covid-19 test. Siblings of that person should then stay at home until the test results are known. Guidance will then be given about returning to school by the GP/HSE. • The school should be contacted in all situations where students are not attending school.
