More children at Fife primary schools have been told they will have to self-isolate after a number of new positive cases of Covid-19 were confirmed.

Parents and guardians of P3 pupils at Donibristle Primary School in Dalgety Bay were informed late yesterday evening that children would have to self-islolate until October 19.

It follows an additional individual linked to the school having tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total cases associated to the school to two.

The news comes just days after the entire P7 year at the same school was requested to self-isolate after the first of the confirmed cases.

NHS Fife has also confirmed that an individual linked to Methilhill Primary School had tested positive.

A number of contacts at the school have been identified and asked to self-isolate.

Also, two individuals at Beath High School in Cowdenbeath have also tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total cases associated to the school to 13.

No additional contacts are required to self-isolate.

A spokesperson at NHS Fife, said: “Anyone who develops any of the established symptoms of the virus, such as a fever; or a loss or change in taste or smell; or a new and continuous cough, should arrange testing using the UK Government Citizens’ Portal at: www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or by calling 0800 028 2816.

“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 through our dedicated Coronavirus website, at:
