Public Health updates

Public Health have created a webpage with information for parents about the rules that they must follow to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. There is also information for parents about what to do if their child is asked to isolate because they have had contact with someone with Covid-19 (both a web link and a printable/emailable pdf).
