Elsewhere, there are single positive cases associated with the following schools: Glenrothes High School; Kinglassie Primary; Levenmouth Academy, Methilhill Primary; , Pathhead Primary School, Kirkcaldy; Queen Anne High School, Dunfermline; St Kenneth’s RC Primary School, Ballingry; Viewforth High School, Kirkcaldy and Woodmill High School, Dunfermline.

Where there is more than one confirmed case, this does not necessarily suggest transmission within the school and may relate to a sibling or household group, or it may be separate incidences of community-acquired infection.
