Dear Parents,
Last week some apples delivered to schools in Canterbury as part of the Fruit in Schools Programme fell within the dates of the 'Hepatitus A' warning period.
The Ministry of Health have asked all schools in the programme to let parents know that there is a very low risk that any children or staff would have been exposed to the virus. However as a precaution they remind the community of the importance of anyone displaying 'flu like symptoms' over the coming weeks to visit a doctor just in case.
If you would like more detailed information about Hepatitis please click here
Please be assured that the risk that we came in to contact with the illness is very low and that this information is being distributed to all schools in the Fruit in Schools Programme.
