AEGIS Covid and Travel Update
11/03/2022 08:00
UK Covid regulations have been recently updated.
While it is no longer law in England to self-isolate if a student has COVID-19, it is still recommended by NHS to stay at home and avoid contact with other people. This helps reduce the chance of passing COVID-19 on to others. From the messaging we have so far seen from schools, self-isolation of symptomatic or positive international boarders will continue. Regular testing has ceased however testing of symptomatic children will continue, and testing after 5 days of a positive test to check for a negative result will be in place.
