Group A Streptococcal Infection/ Scarlet Fever​​​​​​​

Dear Parent, Guardian and Carers

Re: Group A Streptococcal Infection/ Scarlet Fever
The UK Health Security Agency has recently identified an increase in cases of scarlet fever (caused by Group A streptococcal infection) and invasive Group A Streptococcal infection (pneumonia or other serious infections). We are reaching out to clarify what this means and how best to keep children safe.
