Sending Children to School if they are Unwell - If they have what we know to be common symptoms of COVID-19, including whether you or the person you're caring for have:
a fever of 37.5℃ or more; or
symptoms suggesting fever (such as night sweats or chills); or
an acute respiratory infection (for example, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat); or
loss of smell or taste.
It's possible these could also be symptoms of a different respiratory infection. But if your child is displaying any of these symptoms, the current government guidelines recommend they stay at home and even get tested.
