Coronavirus Symptoms
The symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are usually mild, but some people can become very unwell.
Main symptoms - Please stay at home (do not come into school) if you or your child displays any of these symptoms:
-
high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
-
new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
-
loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Most people with coronavirus have at least one of these symptoms.
