SICKNESS/COVID
Students who are COVID positive or close contacts can attend a school site if they are well and have no symptoms, with the exception of Support Schools.
Close contacts should test immediately if they become aware of symptoms and stay home. COVID cases are recommended to avoid contact with vulnerable people, and are therefore not to attend Support Schools for 7 days from testing positive. This includes students, staff, parents, carers and visitors.
COVID positive or close contact staff, visitors and secondary school students who are well and choose to attend a school site, should wear a face mask indoors on and off school sites for 7 days. Primary school students who are COVID positive or close contacts can choose to wear a mask but are not expected to.
Students and visitors are not required to advise the school that they are a close contact or COVID positive.
