Students and COVID-19 (Post Primary Schools)

If a post primary student has tested positive for COVID-19:
- They will be contact traced by the National Contact Tracing Team.
- The National Contact Tracing Team will contact them and ask them to
identify their close contacts.
- The student who tested positive will have to isolate for 10 days from the
day their symptoms started or for 10 days from the day they had the
positive PCR test. The student can return to school after this isolation
period, provided they do not have a fever/temperature during the last 5
days of their isolation period.

Students who have symptoms of COVID-19 should stay at home, isolate and
arrange to have a COVID-19 test.

There are 2 types of COVID-19 test available from the HSE:

Antigen tests (home test kits) and PCR tests (done at a test centre and sent to a lab).

Students (or anyone between 4 to 39 years of age) who has symptoms of
COVID-19 are offered antigen tests firstly and they do not book a PCR test
unless they get a positive antigen test result.

Note – If a student is identified as a CLOSE CONTACT of a case in their
HOUSEHOLD they will have to restrict their movement as per national
guidelines for household close contact and get a COVID-19 test as soon as
possible.
