Following a recent decrease in Covid-19 cases in Secondary schools across Denbighshire it has been agreed to revert back to the Low level of interventions status.
An increase in
cases at the start of the school year saw Secondary schools change their status
which enabled schools to implement additional measures to help control the
spread of the virus.
Recent weeks
have seen a reduction in case numbers for secondary age pupils and based on
this, the overall alert level for Secondary schools has been changed to Low.
Cllr Huw
Hilditch-Roberts, Denbighshire County Council’s Lead Member for Education,
Children's Services and Public Engagement, said: “It is pleasing to see the
work of school staff and parents has helped to reduce Covid case rates in
Secondary schools and that we can make this decision now.
“In making
this decision it’s important we all remain aware that Covid remains in our
communities and we remember the importance of seeking tests when symptoms
develop and following advice from TTP regarding self-isolation.
“I would like
to reassure parents and carers, learners and staff at our schools that we will
continue to monitor the situation and take action to help keep schools safe
when required should the situation change and I would like to thank all pupils,
parents and staff for their support during this difficult time.”
All those
contacted by Test, Trace, Protect (TTP) are asked to work with the teams and to
follow the guidance given.
* PCR tests can
be ordered at https://gov.wales/get-tested-coronavirus-covid-19 or
by calling 119
