Halstead Community Primary School

Information on Coronavirus (COVID-19)

For the latest information on coronavirus, including the situation in the UK and information about the virus and its symptoms, please refer to NHS England guidance.

Protect yourself and others
As with any virus, such as the common cold or flu, the best way to protect yourself and those around you is to practice good hygiene.

Make sure that you:

• always carry tissues and use them to catch coughs and sneezes, and bin the tissue
• wash hands with soap and water, or use sanitiser gel, to kill germs

The school is following all the advice provided by Public Health England and will continue to do so. We receive daily updates and will advise parents of any additional advice and guidance that is provided via the school website, newsletter or text where appropriate. We have been doing sessions in class assemblies on good hygiene and handwashing.
