Dear school community member
Thank you for your patience during this time while we work with NSW Health.
I would like to provide you with a further update to my recent communications.
On the basis of a further review of this case and the infectious dates when last at School, you are requested to monitor for symptoms only, meaning you will not be required to get a nose and throat (PCR) test or to self-isolate unless you develop symptoms as described below.
I would like to reassure you that the school will only take action, in accordance with NSW Health advice, for a confirmed case of COVID-19 where there has been an impact on our school. NSW Health have advised that no staff or students have been identified as contacts of the confirmed case.
NSW Health reminds anyone who has been unwell or if you develop any symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting or extreme tiredness to be tested at one of the COVID-19 testing clinics.
Further information on COVID-19 is available on the NSW Government website.
Thank you for your support.
Kevin Elgood
Principal
Homebush Boys High School
