Donibristle Primary in Dalgety Bay and the nurseries at Bellyeoman and Crossgates Primary Schools have had five or more people requiring to isolate following coming into contact with a positive case of COVID-19. 

An NHS Fife spokesperson said: "These updates list where a case has occurred in pupils or staff who are attending the school, and where five or more school contacts have been required to isolate after contact tracing has taken place.

"Where less than five potential contacts have been identified, these cases will not be included for reasons of pupil/ staff confidentiality."
