TWO cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed at Milne's High School in Fochabers.
As a result, a number of staff and students have been advised to self-isolate in accordance with government guidelines.
A Moray Council spokesperson said: “As always, we wish anyone who tests positive with Covid-19 a speedy recovery and hope their family stay well.
“We’re in contact with NHS Grampian’s public health team, who are advising us on next steps for Milne’s High School and the families involved.
"In the meantime a number of pupils and teachers have been advised to self-isolate. These pupils have also been provided with information on how to access their learning from home.
“Initial advice has been passed to parents and carers giving details of what to do if their child displays symptoms of Covid-19. We will continue to contact parents and carers directly with any further updates.
“All Moray schools receive an enhanced clean daily as standard now in line with public health advice, including daytime sanitation, and this allows the rest of the school to continue as normal. School buses, which are considered an extension of the school estate, are also cleaned after each run so we’re satisfied that Covid-19 safety measures continue to be met."
A student at Forres Academy has also tested positive for Covid over the course of the past week.
