Dear Parent/Guardian

The Public Health Agency guidance on Covid-19 (Coronavirus) has now been updated. 

Dr Muhammad Sartaj, Consultant in Health Protection at the PHA, said: “With parts of Italy now coming within the guidance, we appreciate that people who may have travelled to the country recently will be concerned and are seeking advice. This includes parents of children who may have been on school trips over half-term, so we are liaising with Department of Education, Education Authority, and schools, to advise on the impact of the newly-updated guidelines, and how they apply in each set of circumstances. 

The guidelines apply equally to all travellers to areas covered, whether travel has been for a holiday, school trip, business, or other reason.

Yesterday the PHA advice is to continue as normal unless you present with a cough, a fever or have breathing difficulties. If this is the case, you should follow the guidance from the Public Health Agency:

Please also note that the pupils from Limavady Grammar School were not in any of the towns listed as Category 1 on the PHA guidance.

This situation is fluid and may change in line with advice from the PHA.
