The letter is available on our website below under the heading, ‘Chief Medical Officer advice to parents’;

The Department has also published hand washing guidance posters, available above, for schools to print and display.

There is a link on the above page to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) website which contains specific guidance for educational settings.
