St Andrews Primary School has 15 confirmed PCR cases of COVID-19 as of lunchtime today Wednesday, 15 December.
There have been no further positive LFTs to report today.
The P4 class will remain closed tomorrow and Friday December 16-17, with the aim of reopening in full on Monday 20 December.
There were 45 children at St Andrews School today out of a school roll of 209.
At an incident meeting this afternoon with representatives from Public Health, the Council’s Education Directorate, Schools, Environmental Health, Safety and Resilience, Sport and Leisure and Community Learning and Development, the decision was made to maintain closure of the P4 class in the meantime.
Environmental Health carried out an assessment of the school today to ensure enhanced mitigating measures are in place to reduce the possibility of transmission.
