CV&CC Update Extra: Self Isolation Period Shortened to 10 days

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

The self-isolation period has been cut from 14 days from the date of symptoms to 10 days. The link to the Gov.UK site is as follows:

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-chief-medical-officers-statement-on-the-self-isolation-period-11-december-2020 

This means that if your child is currently isolating because of a positive test result, and Day Ten is on or before Sunday 13th December, they are allowed to come back to College on Monday.

 

I have no idea why the government keep sending out these important messages last thing on a Friday when it is very difficult for parents to make contact with schools to check ! It also strikes me that this decision may make some families more anxious about sending their children in next week. Please see my comments in today’s Newsletter.

 

Best wishes,

Kevin Bawn
