Hib and pneumococcal meningitis are preventable by vaccination. Your local UKHSA health protection team will advise on any action needed. Encourage individuals to implement good hand hygiene practices, particularly in those affected and the staff who carry out nappy changing or assist with toileting. This should continue even after the person is well because the virus can still be present in the faeces and saliva for a few weeks.

In an outbreak of hepatitis A, your local UKHSA health protection team will advise on control measures. The first signs are tingling, burning or itching in the area where the sore is going to appear. This phase may last for as little as 24 hours. There is reddening and swelling of the infected area resulting in fluid filled blisters which are usually clumped together in patches. Cold sores can be painful, and the blisters may form ulcers. They then dry up and crust over. Individuals with mild symptoms such as runny nose, and headache who are otherwise well can continue to attend their setting. Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A streptococcus ( GAS). It mostly affects infants and young children. It is very infectious and appears most commonly as reddish sores on the face. It may be a primary infection or a complication of an existing skin condition such as eczema, scabies or insect bites. Inform your UKHSA HPT if you have a case of iGAS in your setting. The HPT will carry out a risk assessment and undertake appropriate investigations and/or actions as required. Further information about iGASThere are 13 known groups of the bacteria, the most common worldwide are A, B, C, W and Y. In the UK, groups B and C are the most common. Meningococcal infection is a rare but serious disease and is fatal in around 1 in 10 people with the illness. About 15% of those that recover have long-term complications. Please note, for genital herpes use of condom alone does not offer sufficient protection – see route of transmission above. All outbreaks of food poisoning should be investigated, your UKHSA HPT will work with the setting and EHO from the local authority. People affected by infectious gastrointestinal diseases may experience diarrhoea and vomiting. Diarrhoea is defined as 3 or more liquid or semi-liquid stools ( type 6 or 7) within a 24-hour period in adults and older children or any change in bowel pattern in young children.

Exclude the infected individual for 7 days after the onset of jaundice or from the onset of symptoms if no jaundice is present. Exclude any affected individual who has a high temperature and are unwell until they no longer have a high temperature and are well enough to attend the setting. Frequently touched surfaces such as taps, toilet flush handles, and door handles, should be cleaned regularly throughout the day. Cover broken skin The illness is usually mild, but skin lesions and blisters can be painful, and most people will recover fully within a few weeks. Severe cases may occur in young children, pregnant women, or people with suppressed immune systems (including those with HIV). The cough becomes worse and usually, the characteristic ‘whoop’ develops. Coughing spasms are frequently worse at night and may be associated with vomiting. It may last several months.Some children aged 2 years and under, especially those with a heart condition or born prematurely, and very young infants, are at increased risk of hospitalisation from RSV. During coronavirus (COVID-19), there has been a significant drop in children getting vaccinated with MMR and other childhood vaccines. Measles is highly infectious so even a small decline in MMR vaccine uptake can lead to significant increases in cases. eSchools understands our obligation to be mindful about the data we process and only process data that is required to fulfil our obligations in providing our services; to a school who enters into an agreement to use our services and you, the user.

The rash is unusual in that for some months afterwards, a warm bath, sunlight, heat or fever will trigger a recurrence of the bright red cheeks and the rash itself. discuss the composition of a letter of reassurance to parents, carers or students to raise awareness of signs and symptoms
