ARPHS said it will work with the school to identify any close contacts as a result of the exposure. Close contacts will include students and staff members who may have been within two meters of the student for more than 15 minutes.
“We ask that you keep your child or children at home, until you receive a letter from ARPHS telling you what to do next. Staff must also stay home until ARPHS advises them,” the letter read.
ARPHS also asks people to watch for symptoms of COVID-19, which include new or worsening cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever, temporary loss of smell, and shortness of breath.
Parents of school students are asked to call their doctor or Healthline on 0800 358 5453 if they or their child have any symptoms.
“Lastly, if you know the identity of the student or family with COVID-19, do not reveal their names or details to anyone else and discourage your children from speculating or identifying them on social media. This can lead to online harassment and abuse.” ARPHS said.
