A number of contacts have been identified at Bowhouse Primary School, in Tinto Drive.

The NHS Forth Valley correspondence stated: “Our Test and Protect team is carrying out COVID-19 tracing at the school. Working closely with the school and local authority, NHS Forth Valley has carried out a careful risk assessment to establish a list of close contacts within the school.

“All close contacts are being advised to self-isolate as a precaution and being given appropriate advice and support. The school will work with parents and carers to minimise the disruption to learning for those pupils who need to self isolate.

“Robust control measures are in place at the school and there is currently no evidence of transmission within the school itself.”
