A case of Strep A has been confirmed at a school in Nottinghamshire, parents have been told. A letter sent by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), seen by Nottinghamshire Live, was sent to parents and carers at East Bridgford St Peter's CofE Academy.
The agency has confirmed a single case and states the school is following UK health guidance. Strep A can include illnesses such as scarlet fever, sore throats and impetigo.
The letter adds: "Although scarlet fever is usually a mild illness, it should be treated with antibiotics to minimise the risk of complications and reduce the spread to others."
