Pupils in five classes at a Dunfermline primary school have been told to self-isolate after positive Covid-19 cases were identified.
Three people with links to Carnegie Primary are confirmed as having the virus and are already isolating at home with other household members.
As a precaution, youngsters in P1a, P1/2 composite class, P2/3 composite class, P5/6 composite and P6b have also been told to isolate.
NHS Fife said that following a risk assessment based on available information, the risk to pupils appears to be low.

At South Parks, the P5 class is having to isolate up to October 13, resuming activities from October 14.
The isolation period covers the start of the school holidays.
