A letter to parents and carers from head teacher Barry Millar said: “A second, single case of confirmed Covid-19 has been reported in a person who attends
Harris Academy, this time in S3.
“This case is not in any way linked to yesterday’s case. The close contacts of this person have been identified by the Health Protection Team (HPT) at NHS Tayside and must now enter isolation.
“This is a precaution. This isolation is from the date of last contact Monday October 19 2020 for 14 days.
“Therefore, these close contacts can return to school on Monday November 2 2020 or Tuesday November 3 dependant on the last contact with the young person in question. You will already have been notified if your child is a close contact.
“This letter is for the wider community to keep you informed. Please be reassured that if you have not been contacted individually, your child has not been identified as a contact of the case, and they can continue to attend school and undertake other activities as normal.”
