NSW Health has shared the following information:
Help us keep our schools COVID-19 safe.
• Keep your kids at home if they’re unwell and get them tested
• Remind your kids to sanitise or wash their hands regularly
• Kids in year 7+ must wear a mask indoors, and masks are strongly encouraged for primary aged students
Despite the highly contagious Delta variant, most kids diagnosed with COVID-19 during the current outbreak have had mild or no symptoms. Only 2% of those cases had to be hospitalised (National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance).
Under the public health order, all education and care workers, including teachers and education providers, must be fully vaccinated by 8 November 2021. To help protect our kids while they’re at school, all school staff are required to wear masks indoors.
Help us keep kids in the classroom!
