A new coronavirus cluster has been linked to a Glasgow school in the north east of the city.
A total of eight positive cases have been reported in the area, a number of whom are pupils at Bannerman High School in Ballieston.
The school was reopened today but none of the affected youngsters were in attendance and are self-isolating at home.
None of the people affected are experiencing anything but mild symptoms.
Test and protect staff are contacting anyone who may be affected and say there is no current added risk to the wider community due to this cluster of cases.
Dr Linda de Caestecker, Director of Public Health, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: “We want to reassure local people and businesses that this cluster of cases of COVID-19 is being thoroughly investigated and managed by the NHSGGC Public Health Protection Team.
“An NHSGGC-led assessment group working with Glasgow City Council met today to undertake a risk assessment and provide advice to the school and other settings the cases visited.
“None of the cases are experiencing anything but mild symptoms and to maintain patient confidentiality we are unable to give any further information on the cases. Each of these cases is being managed and followed up in detail, and all of them are isolating at home.
“All settings that these cases attended during their infectious period are being identified, assessed and are being supported with control measures, and anyone who may have been exposed to these cases is being given appropriate advice.
“Anyone affected will be contacted through the Test and Protect service. We want to reassure the wider community and especially pupils and teachers returning to school that there is no added risk due to this cluster.
“We also want to remind people to stay off school or work and get tested if they experience any symptoms.”
Health and local environmental health staff are working closely with the school and a number of other local businesses to contact trace any close contacts of the cases and appropriate advice is being advice given to these individuals.
Close contacts are being advised to self-isolate and being given appropriate advice.
