Last night the UK and Scottish Governments updated their advice on self-isolation. You can find the advice here: https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/coronavirus-covid-19

 The advice is now that you should self-isolate for seven days if you have any new symptoms:

•  a high temperature
• a new cough

 Please do not call 111 unless your symptoms start to worsen.

 “People who are self-isolating should remain at home and should not go to work, school or public areas.  You should avoid close contact with others by: 

• avoiding having visitors
• not using taxis or public transport
• asking a friend or neighbour to get any shopping you require, or arranging for a delivery that can be left at your door
• avoiding intimate contact
• not sharing towels, clothes, toothbrushes or razors.”

 In any case, it is essential to practice good hand hygiene by regularly washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water is not available then use suitable alcohol hand sanitiser as an alternative. This video may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQCP7waTRWU&feature=youtu.be

With regards to any of our future school trips, we are awaiting guidance from Glasgow City Council and our Tour Operators.  As soon as we have any further information we will pass this onto you.

Currently we are taking each day as it comes but we are taking every step to ensure we are operating as normal.
