Dear Parent/Guardian,

Re: Coronavirus concerns

As you will be aware the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing increasing problems across many countries. We take the health and safety of our pupils and staff very seriously, so we’re sharing guidance from Public Health Wales on steps you should be taking.

The NHS says the symptoms of Covid-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, are a cough, a high temperature and shortness of breath – but they could also indicate other common illnesses such as a cold or flu.

How can you stop COVID-19 spreading?

• After you cough or sneeze and before touching food, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand disinfectant containing >60% alcohol.
• If you need to cough or sneeze, catch it in a tissue, throw it into the bin, wipe it off by washing your hands with soap and water or a hand disinfectant. If there is no tissue, cough into your elbow
• Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and avoid sharing personal items.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects /surfaces in the home and work environments

There’s currently no cause for concern at the school. We will in turn keep you informed about any developments.

The following table might be of help to parents/guardians with regard to action to take depending on countries/arears visited. It is of upmost importance that if you travel outside of the UK that you check the most up to date information before your child return to school.
