Headache
Sore throat, stuffy or runny nose

Nausea and vomiting
Children and staff are advised not to come to school if they have à fever or are not feeling well enough.
Antigen or PCR testing is no longer recommended even when displaying Covid-19 symptoms. Consequently, the school will not provide anymore testing kits.
In the event of a positive Covid-19 test result (following a request made by a health professional), it is recommended that the child stays at home for 3 days following the test and return to school once they feel better and no longer have a fever. For people over 18 years old, the recommended isolation period is 5 days.
