We have received updated guidance from Manchester Health regarding the requirements for PCR testing. This is to help to try to reduce the number of positive cases and spread of COVID-19 through asymptomatic cases
If someone shows one of the main symptoms:
- New persistent cough
- High temperature
- Loss of sense of taste or smell
Then the person should isolate and take a PCR test.
There are now identified wider symptoms - if someone shows any of these symptoms they should book for a PCR test as soon as possible but DO NOT need to isolate unless a positive test result is received
The wider symptoms are:
- Diarrhoea
- A persistent headache
- Fever and/or chills
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue / tiredness
- Muscle or body aches
- Sore throat
- Blocked or runny nose
- Feeling sick or being sick
Please do speak to school if you need any help in booking a PCR test as we guide you through how to do this when your child is not showing one of the main symptoms.
If anyone in your household or anyone you have had close contact with shows symptoms:
- ALL members of the household must isolate immediately
- ALL members of the household must book PCR tests (not lateral flow tests) even if you are not showing any of the symptoms
- You must inform all schools / settings where your children attend
- You must follow the instructions given by schools / NHS / Public Health / Track and Trace exactly If anyone in your household / close contacts tests positive for Covid-19
- ALL members of the household must isolate immediately

If you are not sure what to do please speak to school for advice or telephone 119 to speak to someone on the Covid-19 helpdesk who will be able to give you immediate advice.
What will school do?
In all circumstances we will consult with Public Health England / Public Health Manchester / Manchester LA and ask for guidance based upon each individual circumstance. As Manchester is currently classified as an Enhanced Response Area due to the high rate of the Delta variant we will always act cautiously. This is to protect your children and our staff - a decision to close a bubble is never taken lightly.
What is a 'close contact'?
If you have been less than 2m away from a person this is any contact over 1 minute.
If you were at 2m distance any contact for over 15 minutes
