I sought clarification from the HSE around the apparent contradiction in their documents regarding siblings of children with symptoms and we have come to these guidelines:
- If your child develops symptoms in school, siblings who are apparently well will no longer need to go home with the sick child (as of 15/09/2021)
- If your child develops symptoms at home, we ask that you keep your other children home until a negative test is received.
- For those children who are self isolating as a result of a case in school, we ask that you send proof of your negative test to us by email (cns.iaswx@gmail.com) or Dojo to Ms. Russell
