Positive COVID tests linked to Fife College

NHS Fife confirmed the cases this afternoon.

It said there was “evidence of a potential link between two of the three cases” - but that there was no evidence of wider transmission within the college at this stage.

It said the risk to students and staff appears to be low.

Contact tracers from the Test and Protect Team are in the process of identifying and tracing the known contacts of the positive cases to provide public health support and advice.
