Scarlet Fever Information

Many parents have been asking about the quarantine period for Scarlet Fever. As far as we can ascertain from the NHS website, the recommended period is 24 hrs after the first dose of anti-biotic. However, it is quite likely that doctors will recommend up to 48 hrs as there is so much of it about at the moment. Please see the link below to the NHS website for more information.
