Pupils in a class at an Aberdeen school have been told to self-isolate after a positive case of coronavirus was identified.
Parents with children at Mile End school were informed of the news today.
As a result of the positive result, pupils in a junior class have been asked to isolate for 10 days.
The council do not believe any staff will be required to isolate.
An Aberdeen City Council spokesman said: “We have had a positive case of Covid-19 in a class at Mile End School this morning and immediately alerted public health.
“Following an extensive investigation by the School Leadership Team a subsequent assessment by public health recommended that the children in the class self-isolate for 10 days as a precautionary measure.
“Public health do not believe that any staff will need to self-isolate at this stage but contact tracers will confirm this when they speak directly to staff.
“Mile End school has very good control measures in place which means that there is no evidence of Covid-19 transmission at school and that all other children can continue to attend as normal.
“We have written to families to update them on the situation and provide reassurance.”
