NHSGGC and Glasgow City Council have issued a YouTube video of a question and answer session with NHSGGC Director for Public Health, Linda de Caestecker.
The video is just under 7 minutes long and contains useful information on the symptoms of coronavirus, when to self-isolate, when to get tested and how to seek further advice.
There is also detailed guidance for parents and schools on:
- when should a child be asked to go home
- whether or not a child who has cold symptoms can still come to school
- what happens when a teacher tests positive
- if a school can ask to see a negative test result before allowing a child back to school?
Although particularly useful for those who work in schools, much of Linda de Caestecker’s advice is relevant for everyone and I would encourage all employees to watch the video which has been posted on our website.
I hope you find it helpful and reassuring.
Thank you
