Local Health Advice

The following symptoms are currently being seen locally, including a sore throat. Usually common infections are mild, but it is always good to be aware of the following:

• Very high fever
• Severe muscle aches
• Localised muscle pain
• Unexplained diarrhoea or vomiting

If someone becomes ill with these symptoms, you should call NHS 111.

The UKHSA has advised that there were no reasons for any changes to the school routine and no reason for children to be kept at home if they are well.
