A pupil from a primary school has today tested positive for COVID-19 and the headteacher has contacted all parents/carers to update them.
The government hasn’t said which school.
It remains open and contact tracing is underway.
A further student attending St Ninian’s High School has received a positive PCR test yesterday (Tuesday), following the return of a positive lateral flow test they had carried out at home. The school remains open and contact tracing is underway.
An extra supply of lateral flow tests to secondary schools for home use is now being provided.
Education chiefs want parents to encourage their children to use these on a regular basis to check for any asymptomatic cases.
Students and staff are able to wear a face covering, should they wish, with free masks available at school for those who don’t have their own.
Interaction with other schools has been suspended and will be reviewed next week.
