Which test do I need?

gfjf

For symptomatic cases, a PCR test must be taken.  Lateral flow tests are only for people who do not have symptoms.  If you've been in close contact with someone who's tested positive for COVID-19 you can get a PCR test, whether or not you have symptoms.

What happens if the test is positive?

gfhgff

Your child will need to self-isolate as per the NHS self–isolation guidance.  Please inform school as soon as possible.  The school still has a duty to report all its positive cases.  If the number of cases in the school reaches a particular threshold, the school will action its COVID Contingency Plan.
