Multiple Covid-19 cases have been confirmed at a Dublin primary school as an urgent letter was sent to parents.
The school, located on the northside of the capital, has reported two confirmed cases to the Department of Health.
According to HPSC, two or more confirmed cases or one confirmed case and at least one additional case of illness with symptoms consistent with Covid-19 can be classified as a cluster or outbreak.
Officials sent a letter to parents and guardians advising them that the rest of the school will remain open, but if they or their child develop any symptoms they must get tested immediately.
The letter to parents reads: "A public health risk assessment has been undertaken and the staff and parents of any children deemed to be close contacts of the confirmed cases have been contacted and advised accordingly.
"If you/your child is not identified as a close contact, you/your child does not need a test for Covid-19 and they can continue to attend school, and no further actions are required at this time.
"If you/your child develops any symptoms suggestive of Covid-19 infection (such as a cough, a fever, loss or change in sense of taste or smell), please do not send your child to school, contact your GP and begin restricting your child's movements, as per public health advice."
It comes after another school was forced to shut several classes last week after multiple Covid-19 cases were confirmed.
The junior school at Mary, Mother of Hope NS on Dublin's northside saw several people test positive for the virus.
And officials made the decision to temporarily close the school at the end of last week.
An urgent letter was sent to parents and guardians on Wednesday.
