Message from Mr Hunter headteacher and NHS
Lothian
As
you may already know, we are aware of a person in the school who has tested
positive for COVID-19. We have been working closely with
NHS Lothian Health Protection Team and following all national guidance.
A
number of people have now been contacted because they have been in close and
sustained contact with the case and the tracking process is now complete.
These
contacts will need to self-isolate and appropriate guidance and advice has been
given.
If
you have not been contacted directly to tell you your child is a close contact,
then your child should attend school as normal.
Enhanced
cleaning and infection control measures are in place in line with national
guidance. The school is safe and remains open.
If
you have any concerns in the meantime, or if you need to book a COVID-19 test
because your child has developed symptoms (high temperature, a new continuous
cough and/or a loss or change in sense of smell or taste) please visit the NHS
Inform website www.nhsinform.scot
or for non-clinical advice call 0800 028 2816.
Please
note that a test should only ever be booked if you or your child has these
specifics symptoms.
Remember
to stay at home if anyone in the household has symptoms of COVID-19.
