The government is closely monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus and is taking action at home and abroad. The overall risk of Coronavirus to the UK remains moderate. As a parent/carer you should not be unduly worried about the possibility of your child catching the virus. Children should continue to attend school as normal.  As with any virus, we need to promote basic hygiene practices, such as washing hands, always sneezing into a tissue and the use of antibacterial hand gel.
