Staff member at Salisbury school tests positive for Covid-19
Wyvern St Edmunds remains open for pupils.
The Laverstock secondary school has confirmed that a one member of staff has returned a positive test for the illness.
They've also said a 'small number of staff' who had been in contact with that person will get a letter asking them to self-isolate for 14 days.
Wyvern St Edmunds say no pupils have been in close contact with the member of staff affected.
In a letter to parents from Headteacher Nicola Bull, parents are being reassured that the school remains fully open and children should continue to attend if they feel well.
She also says:
"We can assure you that we are taking all necessary precautions and following all the guidance and advice from Public Health England."
There's also advice for families on what to do if they suspect a Covid-19 case in their household, and a reminder of the symptoms to look for:
- A new continuous cough
- A high temperature
- A loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell
This case follows positive Covid-19 tests for pupils at Durrington's Avon Valley College and Bulford St Leonards Primary last week.
