May I start with a heartfelt, very genuine thank you? We have seen in the last 36 minutes in school the reasons why we Self Isolate. We have sadly had two families this morning where kids have tested positive for COVID. Thankfully both are asymptomatic, and, because the whole family went into self isolation as soon as an adult tested positive, there are no bubble closures. This is great news, and I am so, so grateful to the families for their cooperation, and response to the circumstances they have been dealt. Let's hope and pray that the whole family remain with low level symptoms, and the kids remain asymptomatic.
I know COVID will get back into St Georges - that quite literally is inevitable, but we must also celebrate the little successes. I know I sound like broken record, I know at times it appears i use this newsletter as a soapbox, I don't mean to. I just want to, as we all do, keep the classes in school, and I want to keep you at work, and I want to do my (very) small part in keeping everyone safe, yet keeping the country moving.
So, as it stands, at the time of writing, we're in great shape, and that's down to each and every one of us.
Guidelines the same.
Hands, face, space, fresh air
Self Isolation for the whole household if anyone has symptoms, or anyone is awaiting results of a PCR
Regular LFD testing - only if you feel in tip top shape, and nothing is wrong with you.
Remember the wider prevalent symptoms that are present in children, rather than adults.
Government guidance, underneath the headlines, actually states "anyone can get a PCR test at any time" And things change all the time, for example Headaches and Runny Noses are strongly linked to the latest Delta variant.
