Lincoln Castle Academy, Lincoln Carlton Academy, Ermine Academy (Lincoln), Hawthorn Tree School (Boston), Sir William Robertson Academy (Welbourn, Lincoln), Boston Grammar School and Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School have all been removed from the list as they are no longer active cases with Public Health England.

Andy Fox, consultant in public health, said: “As of this Monday, Lincolnshire’s Health Protection Team is currently working with 91 schools that have had confirmed cases of coronavirus.

“All schools are taking action to limit the potential spread of the virus, with some pupils and staff self-isolating as a precaution where necessary.
