Covid case confirmed at Morisset High School
4th August 2021
The following advice has just been issued and I have had it confirmed directly from the Minister for Education:
We have just been advised of 3 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (siblings) at Morisset HS and Lake Munmorah PS who was on site and infectious. The schools are being made non-operational tomorrow so contact tracing and cleaning can occur.
Morisset High School
The NSW Department of Education has been advised by NSW Health that a student at our school has tested positive for COVID-19.
Our school will be non-operational effective immediately for the on-site attendance of staff and visitors to allow time for contact tracing and cleaning.
All staff and students are asked to self-isolate until you receive further advice.
NSW Health has requested anyone who has been unwell or if you develop any symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting or extreme tiredness to be tested at one of the COVID-19 testing clinics.
Further information about COVID-19 is available on the NSW Government website.
The NSW Department of Education will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff is maintained.
The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is of paramount importance to us at all times. As such we will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.
While we recognise this will be disruptive and inconvenient for families, it is important that we follow NSW Health advice and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of further transmission to support our community.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
