FEARS over the Coronavirus have resulted in testing for a Warwick School pupil.

The pupil visited an affected area during half-term, and after suffering mild flu-like symptoms, is undergoing hospital testing.

A spokesperson for the school said: “We were informed that a Warwick School pupil who went to an affected (category 2) area over half-term is showing the mild flu-like symptoms similar to those that occur with Covid-19.  As a precaution, and in line with Public Health England, he has undergone testing at a local hospital.

“There are no confirmed cases of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) in the pupil and staff body of the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, comprising Warwick Preparatory School, Warwick Junior School, King’s High School and Warwick School.




“The Foundation is following the latest Public Health England advice for schools, to ensure we look after all members of the school community and is updating parents regularly as new information comes to light.”

Deneal Smith, Warwick School headmaster, said: “Public Health England advice for schools is clear: that schools should remain open as usual if cases are unconfirmed.”
