Guidance Covid -19

18^th March 2020

I am receiving daily guidance from Blackburn with Darwen and Public Health – we are fully up to date and following the guidance. I hope this reassures you.

We are planning NOT panicking!

We encourage you and your children to practice good hygiene – everyday.

Please follow the simple steps to help stop the spread of illness:

• Wash your hands with soap and hot water – do this often for at least 20 seconds,
• Always wash your hands when you get home or into school/ work,
• Use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water is not available,
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze,
• Put used tissues in the bin straight away and wash your hands afterwards,
• Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
•  

DO NOT touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.

If your child has a cough or high temperature keep them at home for 14 days.

If you live with others and you or one of them have symptoms of coronavirus, then all household members must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill.

Schools in Blackburn are not being advised to close.

We are keeping school as clean as is possible and making sure that we have soap, paper towels and hand sanitisers in every classroom around school.

A member of staff will be delivering home-work packs this week and educational resources can be found on our website.

Thanks for your continued support,

Mrs Hamriding, Acting Headteacher
