COVID-19 Phase 2 Preparations
17 February 2022
Dear Parents/Caregivers
As you are aware, our community is now in Phase 2 of the Omicron response.
This comes with a few positive changes to the way we will manage COVID-19 at Farm Cove Intermediate
Please read the following information carefully.
If your child attends school in the same Area as a confirmed case, they will no longer be considered close contacts.
Under most circumstances all students will be considered casual contacts.
This change is as a result of guidance from the Ministry of Education and Health who have advised schools too:
- Continue to practice wearing masks inside
- Continue to ensure optimal ventilation
- Ensure students spend less than 2 hours in a class at a time.
When informed that we have a positive case we will alert you of your child's status via:
- your email address on our database
- our SchoolAppNZ alert system. You will receive this alert: We have a confirmed COVID case. Your child has been identified as a casual contact.
Casual contacts do not need to isolate and may continue to attend school as normal. If your child is a casual contact, please monitor them for symptoms. If symptoms present, make sure to get tested and isolate while waiting for results.
Working together we will get through this. Thank you in advance for your kindness, cooperation and support.
Kia kaha
