Please be advised we have had a number of reported cases of chicken pox in the primary school. Please seek medical advice if your child has any of the following symptoms:
• A mild fever,
• Feeling tired and irritable,
• Itching,
• Rash - The rash usually first appears on the chest, back or face. It then can move to other areas of the body including inside the mouth. At first, the rash looks like small pimples. These later become blisters full of fluid.
People with chickenpox should avoid contact with others and not attend work, school or childcare for at least 5 days after the onset of the rash and when all blisters have crusted.
Please see the attached for more information.
