The approach to supporting schools to operate safely during Covid-19 has been to follow and implement public health advice.
Public Health do not recommend that schools tell parents of other children that there has been a case of Covid-19 within a class or group within a school where follow up testing it not recommended. From a public health perspective there is no clinical need for information to be shared with contacts of cases. Any sharing of health data is therefore not being undertaken on the advice of Public Health.
