ü | Sore throat and / or hoarseness |

ü | Persistent headache |

ü | Feeling sick (nausea), vomiting or diarrhoea |
If one or more of the wider symptoms BUT NOT ONE OF THE THREE MAIN SYMPTOMS is present, thena PCR test should be booked.
Please inform the 119 operators when booking the test that School and Local Authority guidance is that a PCR test should be provided. If for any reason staff or parents are refused, please ask for the manager’s name and email and forward the information straight to school. This will then be communicated to the Local Authority to be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
