It is understood that pupils from a number of classes were told last week to stay at home and isolate for 14-days following confirmed cases in their classes

A school at the centre of a Covid-19 outbreak says it may have to close over the coming days because the cyberattack on the HSE has hampered contact tracing.

In a message to parents on Sunday night, the principal and chairperson of the board of management of Scoil Bhríde in Rathcormac, Cork, said they may have to advise parents not to send their children to school over the coming days following a significant deterioration in the Covid situation at the school.
