For your information: 6/2/2019 Scarlet Fever

7 February 2019 (by Mrs Atkinson (parksidepri))

We have had confirmed cases of Scarlet Fever in school in the east wing.

Scarlet fever often starts with a sore throat, headache and fever.  A rash appears 12-48 hours later.  This starts as red blotches, but turns into a pinkish-red rash that feels like sandpaper.  The rash spreads to other areas, commonly ears, neck, elbows, thighs and groin.  The rash will turn white if you press a glass on it.
