A total of 280 schools across Greater Manchester have now been affected by Covid cases.
The figure, which equates to more than a fifth of schools across the region, comes little over a fortnight after pupils started the new academic year.
And with no official list available of all the bubble closures - and the Manchester Evening News only able to confirm cases after being alerted by parents - it's likely there are many more.
A further eight schools have been confirmed today, including the full closures of two primary schools - Holy Family Catholic School, in Langworthy, Salford and St Margaret's CE Primary in Prestwich.
