What to do if your child develops symptoms of COVID-19

If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19 at any time, however mild, please isolate as a household and book a test for the person with symptoms. Symptoms of COVID-19 can include:
 

-        A new, continuous cough, and/or

-        A temperature, and/or

-        A loss of, or change to, sense of test and/or smell

 

You can book a test through  www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or via pharmacies / shops.  

If the test is negative, your child can return to the club once they are well and have been fever free (without the support of paracetamol or Calpol) for at least 24 hours. 

If the test is positive your household should self-isolate for 5 full days and withdraw from isolation if testing negative on day 5 and 6.
 

​Even if you do not have symptoms, you should still

​

-        Get a PCR test to check if you have COVID-19

-        Follow advice on how to avoid catching and spreading COVID-19

If you are concerned about your child’s symptoms, or they are worsening you can seek advice from NHS 111 at www.111.nhs.uk or by phoning 111. For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness. Household members staying at home for 10 days will greatly reduce the overall amount of infection the household could pass on to others in the community
