A special school in Coventry has shut for two weeks after a Covid-19 outbreak.
Three positive cases have been confirmed at Castle Wood Special School, on Deedmore Road, with “several” symptomatic students or teachers.
Those suspected of having coronavirus were tested at home over the weekend with further home testing planned for Wednesday and Thursday.
Coventry City Council is yet to disclose whether the positive cases were staff or children.
However the local authority has confirmed the school has now closed for two weeks as a result and will reopen on Monday, 28 September.
