We know it is tough to book a test at the moment. One of the reasons for this is that people who don’t have Coronavirus symptoms are getting tested.
Parents, only get a test for your children if they have one or more of the following symptoms:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot, for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
- a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – this means they cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
It’s the season for snotty noses and sore throats, but these are not Coronavirus symptoms. We believe that children need to be in school – it’s the best place for them.
