P1 pupils at High Blantyre Primary have been asked to self-isolate after a classmate tested positive for coronavirus.
Those in primary one are to spend the next two weeks at home following the positive test result.
Teachers from that year are also being asked not to attend the workplace.
The rest of the school remains open however, and NHS Lanarkshire say there is no evidence of any transmission there.
Meanwhile, a staff member at Auchinraith Primary, Blantyre, has also tested positive.
Dr Femi Oshin, NHS Lanarkshire consultant in public health, said: “NHS Lanarkshire’s test and protect team has carried out contact tracing after a staff member at Auchinraith Primary School and a pupil at High Blantyre Primary School tested positive for Covid-19.
“They are currently self-isolating at home.
“NHS Lanarkshire is working closely with South Lanarkshire Council with regards to these cases and has now contacted all close contacts.
“Public health advice has been given to these individuals and they are being told to self-isolate.
“There is currently no evidence of transmission in these schools and the risk to the wider school community has currently been assessed as low.
“With regards to High Blantyre, in accordance with Scottish guidelines, all pupils and staff in Primary 1 are being asked to self-isolate for 14 days.”
