Good morning,

We have all been back in the ECC for a few weeks now and we understand the worry should your child be showing signs that they are unwell and what is the next best step.

Here is an update on what to look for should your child fall ill. Please read:

https://www.gov.scot/publications/common-cold-and-covid-19-symptoms-advice-for-parents-and-carers/

Here is some information from the NHS website on the main symptoms;

The main symptoms of coronavirus are:

• a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

Most people with coronavirus have at least 1 of these symptoms.
