Term 2 COVID Message
Coming into the cold and flu season, it’s important that we all continue to keep healthy and safe. To ensure we can keep on top of COVID and also cold and flu, make sure you:
- Be alert to any symptoms of cold or flu that you or your child may exhibit
- Get tested for COVID if you or your child have symptoms
- Practise good hygiene, such as covering coughs and sneezes and washing hands
- If you or your child do get sick, stay at home until symptoms has passed, even if a COVID test is negative
Remember, symptoms include fever, tiredness, cough, headache, sore throat, sniffling and sneezing.
To keep our school safe, we are still:
- continuing with increased cleaning
- making sure there is plenty of soap, sanitiser and tissues available
- applying restrictions to large gatherings of adults and encouraging physical distancing
- requiring visitors to check-in on our sites
The school will now be using the Check in Tas app in conjunction with our usual sign in process to assist with contract tracing in the event of a coronavirus outbreak. Contact tracing is a vital tool for health authorities if an outbreak of coronavirus occurs. It allows rapid tracing of the movements of people who may have been infected, as well as providing timely advice to businesses they visited and people they spent time with.
Check in Tas provides a contactless, secure and convenient way for customers to check into your venue. The data is stored on a Department of Health platform and is automatically deleted after 28 days. Your patrons can be assured that it will only be accessed by authorised Department of Health staff conducting contract tracing if required in the event of an outbreak.
We appreciate your cooperation with contact tracing by registering to use Check in Tas.
