Letter for parents about COVID-19 symptoms

Public Health England has produced a letter for schools to distribute to parents which explains when a person requires a coronavirus test and what the symptoms of coronavirus are. The Department would be grateful if you could share and circulate this letter amongst parents at your school.

The intention of the letter is to help prevent children from being taken out of school unnecessarily and answer some of the questions parents may have around testing.

You can view the letter here.
