PRIMARY pupils at Ewloe Green have been asked to self-isolate following a confirmed coronavirus case. Parents at Ewloe Green Primary school were sent an email from the headteacher informing them of a positive Covid-19 case. NHS Wales Test, Trace, Protect has been informed and the school will remain open. All close contacts of the case have been identified and asked to self-isolate. Claire Homard, Chief Officer Education and Youth said: Whilst rates of Covid-19 have dropped significantly in Flintshire, the virus is still circulating and it is inevitable that new cases will be identified. Where those positive cases in schools have been in contact with others within their infectious period then schools will continue to follow the Public Health Wales guidance and isolate that cohort.
