Parent and carer information

From NSW Health to remind your community of COVID-smart Health messages
 

NSW Health have recently shared some timely reminders to the community about how we can stay COVID-smart, particularly over the school holidays and with rising COVID-19 cases.

Keep sick children home from childcare and school

Many viruses have similar symptoms, including gastro and COVID-19.  Remind your parents and carers that if their child is unwell they must keep them home and get them to take a rapid antigen or PCR test to make sure they don’t have COVID-19. More info: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/.../viral-gastroenteritis.aspx

Stay protected against new variants

With rising numbers of COVID-19 in the community, NSW Health would like to remind everyone that the best way to reduce your risk of serious illness and stay protected against new variants of COVID-19, including the Omicron BA.2 subvariant, is to keep up to date with your vaccinations.

Registering a positive Rapid Antigen Test (RAT)

Remind your community about the requirement for them to register a positive RAT result with Service NSW as soon as possible and immediately self-isolate for 7 days.
