It is understood that the mother of the pupil was contacted by the department of health to inform her of her status. The department found that the children were not displaying any symptoms, but has placed the whole family in quarantine. “Medical practitioners have advised that, although the children have not shown any symptoms at the school, they recommend that you and your children remain in isolation for 14 days,” the letter reads.
