Respiratory Virus Guidance, inc COVID-19: Advice,
Services and Protocols

OVERVIEW

The health and wellbeing of everyone at BADA remains our highest priority. There are currently no specific Covid 19 restrictions in place, but there are still steps we can all take to reduce the chance of catching any respiratory illness. We trust the information below provides you with clear guidance on how respiratory infections such as Covid 19 are being managed here at BADA.

The following information will tell you what you need to know about our response to respiratory illness and the protocols you are required to follow while you are with us.

Symptoms and Testing:

Symptoms to be aware of are a raised temperature (fever); sore throat, headache; a runny nose; fatigue; sneezing; cough and loss of taste or smell.

If you experience any of the above symptoms, then we ask you to please take reasonable precautions to avoid spreading a potential respiratory virus to others. This may include testing for Covid 19 and tests are freely available from UK chemists.

Isolation:
If you are feeling unwell with the above symptoms and have a fever, then you will then need to isolate (from class) until your symptoms are getting better. This is for a minimum period of 24 hours until you are fever-free (without meds).

Taking Precautions

Please wear a mask if you are recovering from a fever. Masks are available from the office. We trust no one will be judged for the choice they may make to wear a mask for any reason such as a cold.

Social distancing is not required, but should be considered, especially around known vulnerable persons. Good hand hygiene is strongly encouraged and hands should be washed or sanitized regularly.

The above protocols are held under constant review and may change at any time in line with any recommendations or change in circumstances. Any changes will be communicated in written form and verbally at the weekly all-school meeting.
