School requesting PCR close contact - we had covid last month

I'm a bit unsure what to do.

DS 11 years old has been identified as close contact at school. School have asked us to get a PCR.

Track & Trace told us on the final call no lft for 90 days & seek PCR only with symptoms

We had it 29th Oct onwards.

Contact emails are auto generated & they probably don't know DS had it as it was in 2 week half term.

Should he get one?

No. Call school & explain. You should not get him a PCR if he has no symptoms.

Say you can't get him one as he won't meet the criteria due to being within 90 days. There's not much else they can do tbh

No.

You can't until your 90 days are up

No he could test positive obviously no need to do test. The school will understand

Thank you all for the quick clarification. I will call & explain now i am sure I have understood correctly, that we can only test with symptoms.
