Should my household self-isolate?

           If anyone in your household has symptoms of COVID you must self-isolate. If you have visited family and someone you have visited develops symptoms within 48 hours of your visit you must self-isolate.

Self isolation means you MUST NOT send children back to school. Children may return to school when the following criteria is met:

• They have self-isolated for 10 days AND have no symptoms:
•                         Self-isolation means the child/staff member should
