An entire class at Glasgow Gaelic School is self-isolating after a number of children tested positive for Covid-19.
Pupils from a P7 class at the primary on Berkeley Street in the city's west end were sent home as well as a number of other children who had travelled on a school bus.
A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said parents of those identified as close contacts had been sent letter and advised to self-isolate 'as a precaution.'

She said: “We have robust measures in place at all our schools to help stop the spread of the virus and communication procedures in place to alert our families to any contact tracing that’s being carried out and in consultation with our public health experts.
"Parents of children who've been identified as close contacts have been sent the relevant public health letter with details of the self-isolation required as a precaution and this includes some pupils who use one of the school buses."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
