Pupils across Scotland headed back to the classroom last week for the first time since schools closed their doors due to the coronavirus pandemic in March.
Less than one week since their return, several schools across the country have recorded one or more positive cases of coronavirus in either pupils, staff or people connected to their institutions.
During that time, schools in Aberdeenshire, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Perth and Kinross and Renfrewshire have recorded positive cases.
Health bosses have stressed that there is currently no evidence of transmission within schools, and cases appear to be from community transmissions.
Anywhere that has seen a positive case has been quickly identified and contact tracing has been carried out.
Kids and staff have so far been given the all-clear to remain in school and continue to attend, except those who have been identified as close contacts of any affected person.
Here are all the schools in Scotland with either pupils, staff or people connected to them who have tested positive.
Please note - this list also includes schools where contact tracing is being carried out, but cases have not been confirmed by the local health board. Entries in this category will be identified in pop-out bubbles.
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
