The Government have warned us that we will see large numbers over the coming weeks.

Parents have a situation to deal with. Knowledge is power.

Please know what to look for in your child. Trust your instincts. Seek help if you are concerned.

Symptom poster on following tweet
For all those who care for children, this is how covid can present in a child.

From the lived experience experts 🧡
Identifying #COVID19 plays a key role in reducing transmission.

This thread shows images of some symptoms reported by families with #Covid positive children.
Any symptoms requires a test.

Ask the @UKHSA to update their symptom list.
