                            Chickenpox

There have been a few reported cases of Chickenpox in the community. Please keep an eye out for cold/ flu like symptoms such as runny nose or fever. People are infectious from one or two days before the rash appears (that is, during the runny nose phase) and up to five days after (when the blisters have formed crusts or scabs).

Please keep your child at home if they are unwell.
