Yet another school in Dublin has been rocked by coronavirus as parents of one school received the frightening word yesterday that there had been a confirmed case.
The HSE is understood to have sent a letter to parents of children from the south Dublin school confirming the positive test to them.
This is now the sixth Dublin school to have a confirmed case of Covid-19 since classrooms reopened nearly two weeks ago.
The letter sent to parents reads: “A confirmed case of Covid-19 in your child’s school has been notified to the Department of Public Health HSE East.
“A public health risk assessment has been undertaken and the parents of any children deemed to be close contacts of the confirmed case have been contacted and advised accordingly."
The letter continues: “If your child has not been identified as a close contact at this time, your child does not need a test for Covid-19, they can continue to attend school and no further actions are required at this time.”
The school is understood to have been deep cleaned following the confirmed case while all close contacts have been informed.
While the school will continue to remain open with children attending, parents were told that if their child develops any Covid-19 symptoms, they are to immediately remove them from the school.
