The self-isolation period for those who test positive for Covid-19 was cut to five full days in England from Monday 17 January. People are now able to leave isolation after negative lateral flow tests on days five and six. If your child is off with Covid, please test them early on the morning of day 5 and if negative, again 24 hours later on day 6. By testing early in the morning your child should be able to return to school on day 6 after two negative tests.
