Dear Parents/Carers,
Covid 19 testing for primary aged pupils who do not have symptoms (asymptomatic)
I am writing to you as your local Director of Public Health to thank all of you who followed my advice and took a PCR test before your child returned to school after Easter and half term. This made a really important contribution helping keep schools safe and protect the wider community.
The number of Covid-19 cases locally is still rising. Public Health are carrying out a programme of asymptomatic testing (for people not experiencing any symptoms).
