Coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms in children

Children can get coronavirus (COVID-19), but they seem to get it less often than adults and it's usually less serious.

The main symptoms of COVID-19 are:

a high temperature

a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot, for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours

a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – this means they cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

What to do if your child has symptoms

If your child has any of the main symptoms of COVID-19, even if they're mild:

Get a PCR test (test that is sent to a lab) to check if they have COVID-19 as soon as possible.

Your child should stay at home and not have visitors (self-isolate) until you get the test result – they can only leave home to have the test. Check if you and anyone else your child lives with need to self-isolate.

Get a PCR test to check for COVID-19 on GOV.UK

Important:Help from NHS 111

Get help from NHS 111 if you're worried about your child or not sure what to do.

For children aged 5 or over – get help from NHS 111 online.

For children under 5 – call 111.

We are experiencing an issue with the myed app where if parents close the app shortly after sending the message but before it arrives in the school`s inbox (it can take 10-15 seconds for the message to arrive) the message will not be sent until the open the app again.

We have raised this to the attention of their development team who are currently working on resolving this.

In the meanwhile, please can we suggest not to close the app straight after sending the message, and to check the indicator under the message and make sure that it turned to green before you close the app (you might need to navigate away from the inbox and back again for it to show green)
