Dozens of pupils have been sent home after Covid cases were found in Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Barton schools.
At one school, 67 pupils and a staff member have had to self-isolate.
Parents have been informed if their children have been in contact with someone who tested positive.
This sadly means some pupils who returned to school this week for the first time since Christmas weren’t able to complete a week of lessons before going into self-isolation.
