Updated Government Health Guidelines
|
|
|
|
When should your child stay home from school?
|
The Government has released new guidelines aimed at helping parents and schools decide whether a child is too sick to attend school or not.
|
The guidelines suggest keeping your child at home from school if they are too sick to learn and need time to rest and recover. This could include testing positive for COVID-19 or displaying a “symptom of concern” such as a fever, vomiting or diarrhoea, having difficulty breathing, or if they have been diagnosed with an infectious disease.
|
|
(Please Note: If your child experiences vomiting or diarrhoea, they should stay home for 48 hours after the last episode to prevent spreading the illness)
|
|
|
When should your child go to school?
|
The guidelines suggest children are fine to go to school if they have mild respiratory symptoms such as a mild cough, headache or runny nose, (excluding Covid-19), hay fever or allergy symptoms, or non-infectious skin problems. They state children should go to school if “they appear well — they are happy, eating and drinking normally, and can easily focus on learning”.
