The decision will move the school to remote learning from June 4 -11. Pupils and staff along with their families have been urged to undergo PCR testing to help identify any further cases. NHS Forth Valley said the decision was part of a series of actions to try to prevent the new Delta variant, which was first found in India, from spreading more widely. The variant is thought to be most dominant strain in the country now. Falkirk Council, NHS Forth Valley, Public Health Scotland and the Scottish Government were all involved in detailed discussions to close Falkirk High down. In a letter to parents, Dr Henry A Prempeh David Mackay Consultant in Public Health Medicine, said: Following a recent rise in the number of positive coronavirus cases in pupils and staff at Falkirk High School, a decision has been taken to move the school to remote learning from Friday 4th June until Friday 11th June inclusive to help reduce further spread.
