To parents/guardians
We understand how challenging these past few months have proven to be, especially for guardians and parents. Now that nurseries and schools have resumed, we have written this article to offer some recommendations on what to do when your child or a young person within your care manifests symptoms of cold or related signs during this pandemic.
Following schools' resumption after an extended break, it is normal for colds and other related viral infections to spread. In most cases, kids will be healthy enough to resume school and proceed with their academics with zero or little interruption to their learning. In other situations, for example, when they suffer a pretty heavy cold, they may have to take one or two days off to recuperate.
For young people and children with potential coronavirus symptoms, this is not the case; they are expected to undergo self-isolation and go for a private covid test, which we offer at Blood London.
We know you do not want your child to miss out on her education. This is why you must understand how COVID-19 symptoms can be differentiated from those of other illnesses that we typically notice spreading during this period of the year.
