Contact tracing is currently being conducted at a Renfrewshire primary school after a pupil tested positive for coronavirus. 

In a letter addressed to parents seen by The Glasgow Times, Dr Catriona Milosevic of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said a careful risk assessment has been carried out to identify other pupils and staff that the infected pupil has been in contact with.

NHS bosses confirmed other staff and pupils could continue to attend school as normal, and there is currently no evidence to suggest there is transmission within the school.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed that the Test and Protect team have established a list of close contacts from Todholm Primary School.

Those individuals are currently being advised to self-isolate.

Dr Catriona Milosevic, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: "Close contacts are being advised to self-isolate and being given appropriate advice. We are working closely with Todholm Primary School and Renfrewshire Council to do this.

"To maintain patient confidentiality we are unable to give any further information.

"To control the spread of the virus it is essential that anyone contacted by Test and Protect follows the directions given including self-isolation. Anyone who may have been exposed are being given appropriate advice.

“We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of continuing with the general measures to minimise the risk of COVID-19 to themselves and to others. These include social distancing, regular handwashing, and being vigilant for symptoms. Anyone with symptoms should immediately self-isolate and seek a test.”
