Covid communications
Dear NSW Department of Education,
My children’s school has advised that it is prohibited from disclosing whether any children in his class have informed them they have Covid under guidance from the NSW Government. They have also advised that they are not permitted to disclose the number of cases in a year.
Please provide all correspondence and guidance that has been given to public schools in relation to how they should report covid cases and any restrictions applicable to them.
Yours faithfully,
James Gabrielsson
