RSV Virus Fact Sheet

We have been contacted by the Southern District Health Board regarding the RSV virus that is hitting the country. I have attached the information sheet and we ask that if your child/ren are feeling unwell or have any of these symptoms then please keep them at home. We will be sending children home today that we feel should be at home.
Symptoms usually include: Runny nose, cough, fever, sneezing, sore throat and headache.
