Self Isolation Period
- For people who record a positive PCR test result, the self-isolation period can be reduced from 10 days to 7 days in most circumstances (unless you cannot test for any reason).
- Individuals may now take LFD tests on day 6 and day 7 of their self-isolation period. Those who receive two negative test results are no longer required to complete 10 full days of isolation. (The first test must be taken no earlier than day 6 of the self-isolation period and tests must be taken 24 hours apart).
- If both these test results are negative, and your child does not have a high temperature, they can end their self-isolation after the second negative test result and return to school from day 8.
- Anyone unable to take LFD tests will need to complete the 10 day full isolation period.
Daily Testing for Close Contacts
- People who are fully vaccinated, or children and young people aged between 5 and 18 years and 6 months, identified as a close contact of someone with COVID-19, should take an LFD test every day for seven days and continue to attend school as normal, unless they have a positive test result or develop symptoms at any time.
Please continue to inform the school of a positive result by using the school COVID mailbox (covidreport@kings-winchester.hants.sch.uk) and if you have any queries regarding the school protocol please send them into kings.school@kings-winchester.hants.sch.uk.
