Coughs, colds and coronavirus

It is wonderful that almost all pupils are back in school; I hope that the parents of the few children who are not back soon have the confidence to return their child to school - to their friends and to their learning.

I have had a few conversations with parents who are worried about what to do because their child has a runny nose of has got the little cough that they often get.

Below is an extract from a letter I have received from Public Health England and Track and Trace.

Note that these are not my words: they are official guidance.
