A pupil at a Highland secondary school has tested positive for Covid-19.
The case was confirmed earlier this week at Dingwall Academy.
The pupil in question has been self-isolating and has not accessed the school over the last five days.
Three close contacts have been identified by the NHS Highland’s health protection team and are currently self-isolating.
Parents at the school were informed about the positive case in a letter sent out to them.
They were reassured that the transmission occurred outside the school premises and that no further individuals from the school will be required to self-isolate.
A Highland Council spokeswoman said: “We can confirm there has been one positive case of covid associated with a pupil at Dingwall Academy earlier this week.
“There are a small number of close contacts identified.”
Earlier this week, it was reported that about 25 pupils at Tain Royal Academy and Knockbreck Primary School were asked to self-isolate after being identified as close contacts of a positive Covid-19 case.
About 20 secondary pupils and five primary pupils were affected.
