Teachers and pupils at two Denbighshire schools have been told to self-isolate after coronavirus cases were confirmed.

Sixty pupils and four members of staff at Ysgol Emmanuel, Rhyl, were affected after a case was linked to the school.

Meanwhile, 54 pupils and five staff at Ysgol Clawdd Offa, Prestatyn, will also have to isolate after a case was linked to the site.
