Thu, 22 Apr 2021

A deep-clean was carried out at a Ramsey school last night after a positive COVID-19 case.

A teacher and whole class at Bunscoill Rhumsaa along with their households are in self-isolation following the case.

The Manx Government says it is liaising closely with the headteacher.

Dr Alex Allinson MHK, Minister for Education, Sport and Culture, said: "All parents have been informed and the class, their teacher, other close contacts and members of their households have been asked to self-isolate until contacted by contact tracing."

"If any parents are concerned that they or their child have COVID-19 symptoms they are asked to contact 111, and the school will update parents as information becomes available."
