Please see the attached letter from Public Health England (PHE) containing new information and guidance for schools regarding coronavirus.
In summary the guidance advises schools to stay open and follow hygiene guidance. Any staff member or pupil who has been to one of the affected countries in the last 14 days and feels unwell should self-isolate at home and call 111. If there is a confirmed case in a school or setting PHE will advise us directly.
