Subject: re refusal of PCR test by 119 service
Dear Headteacher/school administrators please can you inform your school community of this:
In the event of 119 NOT responding to wider symptoms we ask staff and parents to insist that the PCR test should be provided and tell them that you have been informed by your Local Authority that all adults and children with wider symptoms must be provided with a PCR test.
If they refuse school staff or parents should ask for the name of their manager and Email so as an LA we can address this case by case as it is vital that PCR tests are provided with current cases rising quickly.
