THREE West Fife schools have had cases of Coronavirus confirmed in NHS Fife's latest school and nursery update.

NHS Fife say their Public Health Test and Protect team has been investigating additional COVID-19 cases which were confirmed between Friday and Monday.

One positive case has been identified at the nursery at McLean Primary School in Dunfermline while another case has been identified at the school.

There have been three positive cases associated with Carnegie Primary and one positive case confirmed at Queen Anne High.

NHS Fife said that 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.

A statement adds: "Where contact tracing is necessary, risk management and the provision of isolation advice has been undertaken in conjunction with Fife Council Education staff.

"There are a number of useful resources available for parents in Fife, with information on how best to reduce the chances of your family contracting the virus and what you should do if someone in the household develops symptoms.

"These can be accessed at: www.nhsfife.org/news-updates/campaigns/coronavirus-information/information-for-parents/."

Fife Council has made a comprehensive list of questions and answers available for parents and carers at: www.fife.gov.uk/schoolcovidfaqs.

Anyone with any one or more of the symptoms should immediately self-isolate and order a test on the NHS inform website www.nhsinform.scot or by calling 0800 028 2816.
