A pupil at a fourth school in Dundee has tested positive for coronavirus.

The pupil is in Primary three at St Clements RC.

Parents of all P3 pupils have been contacted by staff to advise that their child should self-isolate until September 1 and contact tracing is underway.

Chair of the IMT, Dr Ellie Hothersall said: “Parents of the wider school population at St Clement’s have been reassured that if they have not been contacted individually, their child has not been identified as a contact of a case. They can continue to attend school and undertake other activities as normal.

“The P3 classroom will be deep cleaned and risk assessments are being carried out. Parents should be assured that all appropriate precautions are in place and the school remains open.

“It is important that those who are asked to self-isolate do so to prevent further transmission of the virus in our communities.”
