A 'small number' of pupils at Kittybrewster Primary school are self-isolating after a case of covid-19 associated with the school was detected.

An NHS Grampian spokeswoman said: "We are investigating a detected case of COVID-19 associated with Kittybrewster Primary School. A small number of pupils have been advised to self-isolate for 14 days as a precaution.

"We are working closely with school management and Aberdeen City Council. We are content that the school is able to operate as normal, excepting those pupils who have been advised to isolate.

"We know this is a worrying time for the whole school community. We would stress that they should only arrange a test if they develop the recognised symptoms of COVID-19 (a new, continuous cough, a fever, or a loss of their sense of taste or smell) or if they are expressly advised to by the Health Protection team."
