Single cases were also recorded over the weekend in people connected with the nursery classes at Carleton and Collydean primary schools, both in Glenrothes.
There were also single cases at Commercial Primary School, in Dunfermline, and East Wemyss Primary School.
NHS Fife said: “Where there is more than one confirmed case, this does not necessarily suggest transmission within the school and may relate to a sibling or household group, or it may be separate incidences of community-acquired infection.”
Levenmouth Academy pupils who are isolating as a result of being identified as close contacts of those who have tested positive were reminded to make use of teaching resources available on the school’s website.
Pupils were also reminded to wear face masks on entering the school, unless exempt, and not to come to school if they have Covid-19 symptoms.
Please ensure that your young person comes to school with an appropriate face-covering/ mask. SLT man the doors every morning from 0845 – 0900 to ensure ALL young people (unless exempt) enter wearing a mask. We provide replacements/spares where needed. Please keep everyone safe
