Covid-19 updates

END OF YEAR UPDATE: JULY 2021

Following the change of government rules on Monday 19 July, we continue to liaise with Public Health England as well as with our Emergency Planning and Health Protection Officer at South Glos, with regard to protocols with school. 

The change of process/protocol is the emphasis on the Government Test and Trace team to identify all contacts of a positive PCR result.  There is now no expectation:

  • for schools to do any tracing of contacts;
  • to inform parents;
  • to close bubbles.

From the start of the new term in September, things may be different again, but we will continue to follow government guidance and will keep you informed.  Please ensure that you check in on a regular basis across all our messaging platforms.
