A pupil from a primary school on the Island has today tested positive for COVID-19 and the headteacher has contacted all parents/carers to update them.

The school remains open and contact tracing is underway.

A further student attending St Ninian’s High School has received a positive PCR test on 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.

Mitigations include the extra supply of lateral flow tests to secondary schools for home use.

Parents and students are asked to remain vigilant for the symptoms and signs of COVID-19 and to stay at home and call 111 should any of these develop.
