A further six schools in Lincolnshire have positive cases of coronavirus on Monday, including two that have been closed.

Lincolnshire County Council said on Monday, November 9 that it is working with 67 schools and eight nurseries with COVID-19 infections.

The latest additions to the county council’s list are Louth Academy, The Holt Primary School (Skellingthorpe), Springwell Alternative Academy (Lincoln), Priory City of Lincoln Academy, St Lawrence School (Horncastle) and Holton Le Clay Pre-School.

St Lawrence School and Holton Le Clay Pre-School are both listed as closed in the council’s list. YPLP in Lincoln also remains closed.

Meanwhile, Sturton by Stow Primary School has been removed from the list as it is no longer an active case with Public Health England.

Andy Fox, consultant in public health, said: “As of this Monday, Lincolnshire’s Health Protection Team is currently working with 67 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.

“The majority of schools remain fully open, and those affected are working really well to limit both the risk of the virus spreading and the impact on the pupils’ education.”
