Students and parents are reminded that any young person who has travelled outside of the Bailiwick in the previous 14 days should have a Covid-19 PCR test to confirm a negative result within the 48 hours before they return to an education setting.
This is relevant for next week when students will be attending schools and colleges to collect exam results.
Young people who have travelled outside the Bailiwick in the 14 days prior to attending an educational setting are asked to follow this Public Health guidance, which is in place to mitigate the risk of Covid-19 cases spreading through groups of young people who have not been vaccinated.
These tests are free of charge and can be booked at https://gov.gg/returntoeducation. Once completed the scheduling team will be in touch to book a test slot within the 48-hour period.
Please note this is for all young people who have been outside the Bailiwick, irrespective of vaccination status, due to the need to take a responsible approach when coming into contact with groups of young people.
Further reminders will be publicised before the start of the autumn term in September, when this system of pre-testing before returning to an education setting is likely to remain in place.
