Coronavirus Update - 27 Feb 2020
As you will be aware, there has been a lot of information in the news about returning from trips to Italy over the half term in light of the recent measures put in place by the Italian Authorities on Coronavirus
We would like to assure you that there is no cause for concern, none of the school trips run by Hertfordshire schools were within the ten towns which the Italian Authorities have put on quarantine measures and Hertfordshire residents remain at low risk
If you have returned from the quarantined towns and develop flu like symptoms, please stay at home, avoid contact with others and call NHS111
Taking basic hygiene precautions remains the best way to reduce the chances of spreading any virus: sneeze or cough into a tissue, bin it and wash your hands frequently - do not touch your face unless you have just washed your hands. Using a normal detergent to clean the surfaces people touch regularly like door handles and lift buttons is also sensible
