When should my child not attend school because of Covid-19?

You are no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if you have symptoms.

But if you or your child have tested positive for COVID-19:

• Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day the test was taken if you or your child are under 18 years old – children and young people tend to be infectious to other people for less time than adults
• Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test if you are 18 years old or over
