Bucks school warns parents of suspected case of coronavirus

The email, that The Bucks Herald has seen, begins: “Dear Parent, Carer or Student,” before stating, “A student at school is suspected to have contracted the coronavirus. This has not been confirmed with a test but we are issuing advice as though the diagnosis had been confirmed.”

The communication goes on to quote Public Health England (PHE) advice. Under a section titled “What to do if a case of COVID-19 (pupil, student of staff) is suspected in your school” it states: “There is no need to close the setting or send other learners or staff home.”

We contacted the school and they confirmed to us that they do have a suspected case of coronavirus.

The school, which has approximately 900 pupils, has not been closed.
