Contact tracing has been rolled out at Giffnock Primary after a positive coronavirus case linked to the school. 

Test and protect teams are working to identify close contacts to those to have tested positive as a whole primary class has been advised to self-isolate as a "precaution". 

There is currently no evidence of transmission of the virus within the school itself, where those who have not been asked to isolate can attend as normal.
