*If your child has symptoms of Covid 19

It is really important that we all follow the advice of the HSE If one of the following is true, do not send your child to school and ring your GP for advice.

In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 it is important to know and recognise the symptoms of coronavirus (which includes the DELTA variant). They are: 

Common symptoms of coronavirus include: 

·  a fever (high temperature – 38 degrees Celsius or above). 

·  a new cough – this can be any kind of cough, not just dry. 

·  shortness of breath or breathing difficulties. 

·  loss or change in your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal 

·  Fatigue 

·  Aches and Pains 

Other uncommon symptoms of coronavirus include:

·  sore throat 

·  headaches 

·  runny or stuffy noses 

·  feeling sick or vomiting 

·  diarrhoea

Symptoms may be subject to change so regular review of the HSE Website is advised. 

You will need to:

  1. Isolate your child from other people – this means keeping them at home and completely avoiding contact with other people, as much as possible. Read advice on self-isolation
  2. Treat your child at home for their symptoms.

Your child should only leave your home to have a test or to see your GP.

If your child is isolated during school as he/she is displaying Covid 19 symptoms, you will be given a form which must be filled and a screen-shot of it sent to M.Maria on (087)1706488
