CONTACT tracing has begun at a fifth school in Renfrewshire.

Test and Protect staff are getting in touch with close contacts at St Anthony's Primary in Johnstone.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have said there is currently no evidence of internal transmission of the virus within the school, but there has been at least one positive case.

A spokesperson for NHSGGC said: "Apart from those who are identified as close contacts, all other staff and pupils can continue to attend as normal.

"The exception to this applies to East Renfrewshire, Glasgow City and West Dunbartonshire, where additional COVID-19 control measures are in place.

"In these Local Authority areas, any close contacts of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 are being advised that they and all those in their household group, should self-isolate for 14 days."

Other Renfrewshire schools that have recieved the Test and Trace process so far include Wallace Primary in Elderslie, St James’ Primary in Renfrew and Todholm Primary and Castlehead High School in Paisley.
