๐งช School Infection Survey Update
Guest User
Hello
I wanted to give you all a quick update on the testing that occurred in school yesterday.
The children completed their swab tests calmly and sensibly and with little fuss. The staff completed their swabs in school and we all had varied experiences taking our own blood samples for the adult antibody tests at home (even I managed it).
If a positive COVID-19 result is identified, the individual and the school will be notified within 24-48 hours and the usual procedures will kick in relating to self isolation. For negative and void results the school are not notified and the individual wonโt be notified for a few weeks. So no news is good news.
Antibody test results are a simple yes/no result and they will be sent to individuals only and in about 4-6 weeks time.
There is another round of testing at the end of this month and the links for registering are still live and can be used at anytime to join the survey.
I know there have been some mistakes made by the survey organisation in terms of registration and we are feeding these issues back to them.
Thank you for your support and I encourage anyone not yet involved to register.
Mr. J. Sharp
Head Teacher
