COVID-19: Message from Mr Hunter - Headteacher, and NHS Lothian
We are aware of person in
the school who has tested positive for COVID-19. We understand that this is a
worrying time but would like to reassure you that we are working closely with
NHS Lothian Health Protection Team and following all national guidance.
A number of people are
currently being contacted because they may have been in close and sustained
contact with the case and will need to self-isolate. They will be given
appropriate guidance and advice.
An update will be sent to
you as soon as the tracking and tracing process is complete.
If you are not 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 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.
