Dear Parent/Carer

Our school and all East Riding schools are actively monitoring the situation around the coronavirus

(COVID-19) and are acting on any advice given by Public Health England and specific advice

provided for school by the Department for Education.

Guidance for travellers returning from certain areas has been updated today. It starts as follows:

If you have returned from these specific areas since February 19, you should call NHS111 and stay indoors and avoid contact with other people even if you do not have symptoms:

• Iran
• Specific lockdown areas in Northern Italy as designated by the Government of Italy (12 specific towns)
• Special care zones in South Korea as designated by the Government of the Republic of South Korea
• Hubei province (returned in the past 14 days)

We have not been made aware of any student or staff member who has returned from any of the above areas since February 19. This includes those students and staff who have recently returned from trips abroad, including our ski trip for which the guidance goes on to cover below:

If you have returned from these areas since February 19 and develop symptoms, however mild,

you should stay indoors at home and avoid contact with other people immediately and call NHS111. You do not need to follow this advice if you have no symptoms:

• Northern Italy (defined by a line above, and not including, Pisa, Florence and Rimini) outside the specific lock down areas in Northern Italy as designated by the Government of Italy
• Vietnam
• Cambodia
• Laos
