Dear Parent/Carer,
As a reminder, if a young person shows any symptoms of COVID-19, it is essential that they do not attend school but instead self-isolate (along with their household) and book a test.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are:
A new, continuous cough
A fever/ high temperatures
A change or loss in taste and/or smell (anosmia).
If a young person tests negative they can return to school provided they are well enough and have not had a fever for 48 hours. Confirmation of the negative result should be sent to Dalkeith_hs@midlothian.gov.uk before the young person returns to school.
Thank you,
Craig Knight
Depute Headteacher
