What to do if you develop COVID-19 symptoms 

  1. You and your family must isolate immediately
  2. Book a test for the person who has the symptoms
  3. Remain isolated until the test result is returned
  4. Follow the guidance from the Track and Trace team

COVID-19 Guidance - September '21

Self-Isolation - September 2021


The guidance around self-isolation has now changed and only those who are over 18 and 6 months and unvaccinated need to self-isolate if they come into close contact with a positive case. NHS Test and Trace will now undertake contact tracing, so if you are contacted by the Test and Trace team and told that your child is identified as a close contact of a positive case, you will be advised to seek a PCR test for them. There is no need for other household members to seek a PCR test (including siblings) unless they are also identified as a close contact. There is no need to self-isolate whilst waiting for the PCR test results to come back. It is vital that children and young people continue to attend school. However, if whilst waiting for the PCR test results your child develops symptoms or tests positive then they must self-isolate
immediately and follow the guidance. There is no need for fully vaccinated household members/close contacts to isolate anymore unless they themselves go onto develop symptoms or test positive.
