As you are aware Coronavirus (also referred to as COVID19) is a public health concern.

We want to reassure you that we are monitoring this situation very closely, hence our communication of 28th February, and will keep you informed should we need to take any action in order to safeguard the health and safety of our community.

Currently Public Health England advise that:

  • The infection is not serious for most people including children
  • There is no vaccine
  • Most people will get better with enough rest, water to drink and medicine for pain

 You can help to stop the virus spreading by:

  • If you need to cough or sneeze – Catch it, Bin It, Kill it.
  • Washing your hands with soap and water or sanitiser:

After breaks and sport

Before leaving home

  • Try not to touch your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
  • Do not share items such as cups and bottles

Meanwhile can we reinforce the advice that if you have recently traveled back from any of the countries currently identified as being at risk, including northern Italy, follow the Public Health England advice contained in our letter.
