Infection - Parent Guidance

Parent/Carer Health Protection Information

To help reduce the spread of respiratory infections such as Coronavirus and flu, which can spread easily and may cause serious illness in some individuals, the following actions are recommended:

  • Get vaccinated

  • Let fresh air in

  • Remember the basics of good hygiene

Public health guidance for those experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness suggests the following steps to minimize the risk of transmission:

  • Adults with symptoms of a respiratory infection, particularly those with a high temperature or who are feeling unwell, should stay at home and avoid contact with others until they are feeling well enough to resume normal activities and no longer have a high temperature.

  • Children who are unwell with a high temperature should also stay at home and avoid contact with others. They can return to school or childcare once their temperature has returned to normal and they are feeling well enough to attend.

By following these guidelines, we can help protect the health and well-being of everyone in our community.
