Number of Nottinghamshire schools with coronavirus cases hits 36

A 35th Nottinghamshire school has confirmed it has had a case of Covid-19 this afternoon.

Redgate Primary School, in Mansfield, is the latest in a string of schools in the county to isolate some of its pupils who have been in contact with the positive case.

A spokesperson at the school said: "We have confirmed cases of Covid-19 within Redgate Primary Academy within a single bubble and we are working closely with Public Health England in line with our protocols.

"The small number of pupils who have been in direct contact with the confirmed cases have received an individual letter and will be self-isolating at home for 14 days, as advised by Public Health England.

"The academy remains open and all other pupils should continue to attend if they remain well."

It marks the sixth school in Mansfield which has been affected by a case of the virus.

Earlier today, Joseph Whitaker School and Tuxford Academy confirmed they had both had cases.

Rushcliffe School also confirmed there had been one case at the school on Thursday.
