P1 pupils at Warout Primary are to self-isolate

On Friday, health bosses said the move was a precaution and there was no evidence of onward transmission within the school at this stage.

NHS Fife said the risk to pupils and staff remain low.

Youngsters in the P1 class are being asked to self isolate until Monday, September 28 and they can return to school on Tuesday, September 29.

All other children at the school should continue to attend their classes if they remain well.

Anyone who develops any of the established symptoms of the virus, such as a fever; or a loss or change in taste or smell; or a new and continuous cough, should arrange testing using the UK Government Citizens’ Portal here  or by calling 0800 028 2816.
