23.01.2022 New Covid measures for students that have flu-like symptoms The absent student must undertake a Covid-19 test and provide a negative result to the school prior to returning. They must also have no current flu-like symptoms. As some doctors may not provide a certificate of the negative diagnosis, an email outlining:... The date that the doctor was seen or that the student attended a Covid clinic The date and time of the Covid-19 test The result of the Covid-19 test including: whom informed you, how and when. Is required as evidence of the negative result. A detailed example for parents: On Thursday, Sally has a runny nose and is coughing consistently. Her mother decides to keep her at home and so notifies the school. Her mother calls and states that Sally is exhibiting flu-like symptoms. The school asks when Sally is looking to be tested for Covid-19. Sallys mother says that they are going to the doctor tomorrow. Sally sees the doctor on Friday and is told to go to the Hospital on Monday for a test. Sally and her mother see a doctor on Monday and take the test. Sally is looking much better and feeling well. Sallys mother calls the school to say that Sally is feeling well and that the test result is due back on Wednesday. On Wednesday, Sallys mother emails the school: Sally was unwell with flu-like symptoms and saw Dr Halg on Friday 21/08/20. She then attended Inverell Hospital on Monday 24/08/20 and was tested by Dr Felnt for Covid-19. On Wednesday, 26/08/20 I was called by the hospital and told that Sallys result was negative. Sally is feeling fine now and not presenting with any flu-like symptoms. Sally returns to school on Thursday.
