There are single COVID cases at Carleton, Buckhaven Primary and Kirkcaldy North - plus two linked to St Paul’s Primary, Glenrothes.

Auchmuty High School in Glenrothes has been linked to two positive cases, while there are single cases at three Kirkcaldy’s secondaries - Balwearie, Kirkcaldy High and St Andrew’s.

NHS Fife lists cases if there has been an impact on the school or if action is needed to be taken.

More than one case does not necessarily suggest transmission within the school and may relate to a household group, or separate incidences of community-acquired infection.
