Coronavirus

Urgent action to be taken by Parent/Carer if a PUPIL tests POSITIVE

In line with national guidance, if a pupil receives a positive Covid-19 test result, you must inform school immediately, either via phone on 01942 243675 or via enquiries@admin.woodfield.wigan.sch.uk

We also request you inform us if household member tests positive or your child is identified as a close contact of a positive case.

Parent reminder:

In accordance with NHS guidance, if anyone in your household is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, they must isolate immediately and arrange to have a PCR test as soon as possible.

The three main symptoms are:

• a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
