A further three schools have positive cases of coronavirus on Monday. The county council said on November 30 that it is working with 142 schools with COVID-19 infections.
Mrs Mary King’s Primary School in Martin is the latest school to be added and is currently listed as closed. Two schools, which are not yet on the council’s list, have also confirmed cases.
Mr Nichols, who is the Headteacher at Sir Francis Hill Community Primary School in Lincoln, said: “We can confirm that the school is open as normal. This is a single case, our first case so far.
“We can confirm the pupil is in one of our Reception classes. That class is now isolating. We are following all guidance from the Health Protection Team in Lincolnshire.”
Skegness Junior Academy also confirmed a case of COVID-19 within its school and said it acted immediately and worked closely alongside Public Health England and the local health authority “to ensure the necessary steps and precautions were taken”.
A spokesperson for the academy said: “As a result, one of our bubbles is now self-isolating as a precautionary measure. Our contact tracing and robust health, safety and hygiene measures, including our bubble system, together with our close partnership with the relevant authorities, have allowed us to effectively respond to this case and ensure the school continues to be safe for all other pupils and staff.”
Meanwhile, The John Fielding School in Boston was already on the list, but is now listed as closed.
John Spendluffe Technology College in Alford remains on the list, but is now listed as open.
The schools currently listed as closed are Alford Primary School, Holton Le Clay Pre-School, South View Community Primary School (Crowland), Newton on Trent Primary School (Lincoln), Greenfields Academy (Grantham), Harlaxton Primary School (Grantham), The John Fielding School (Boston), and Mrs Mary King’s Primary School (Martin).
The county council also confirmed that no schools have been removed from the list since Friday’s update.
Andy Fox, consultant in public health, said: “As of this Monday, Lincolnshire’s Health Protection Team is currently working with 142 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.”

There have been 266 new coronavirus cases and 23 COVID-related deaths in Greater Lincolnshire on Tuesday.
The government’s COVID-19 dashboard recorded 208 new cases in Lincolnshire, 30 in North Lincolnshire and 28 in North East Lincolnshire.
On Tuesday, 16 deaths were registered in Lincolnshire, five in North East Lincolnshire and two in North Lincolnshire. These figures include deaths both in and out of hospitals, as well as residents in hospitals outside the county.
NHS England reported 10 new local hospital deaths on Tuesday, including five at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust and five at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust.
On Tuesday, national cases increased by 33,355 to 3,466,849 while deaths rose by 1,610 to 91,470 – the highest daily deaths since the pandemic started.
Over 1,400 rapid COVID-19 tests have been carried out at the mass testing centre at Lincoln City’s LNER Stadium — and there were more positive results than local health bosses expected in the first eight days.
Two COVID wardens in North Kesteven will be the first in the district — and among the first in Lincolnshire — to be trained in protecting communities against coronavirus.
The wardens, referred to as COVID safety ambassadors by North Kesteven District Council, will explain, engage and encourage compliance for businesses and people in public places during the pandemic.
Lincolnshire Police have dropped the £10,000 fine that was issued to a student for organising a party attended by up to 100 people.
Police were called to Viking House on Newland, which is managed by the University of Lincoln, on December 4 last year. When officers arrived they found a party “in full swing” with “at least 70 people, possibly up to 100,” but after reviewing the evidence, they dropped the fine.
In national news, the UK now has the highest death rate from COVID-19 of any country in the world, the latest data has revealed.
An average of 935 daily deaths in the UK over the last week was the equivalent of more than 16 people in every million dying each day from coronavirus.
The West Suffolk MP said self-isolation was “perhaps the most important part of all the social distancing”, urging others to do the same if contacted track and trace.
About one in 10 people across the UK tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies in December, roughly double the October figure, data has shown.
The Office for National Statistics suggest between 8% of people in Northern Ireland and 12% of people in England showed signs of past infection.
Here’s Greater Lincolnshire’s infection rate up to January 18 according to the government’s dashboard:

Plans for a new Aldi supermarket, drive-thru coffee shop and two retail centres at Lincoln’s Moorland Centre are to be approved.
City of Lincoln Council’s planning committee will be asked to give Lincolnshire Co-op’s plans the go ahead next Wednesday.
The move would see the former Downtown building off Tritton Road demolished to make way for the development.
A report before the committee said “the layout, scale and design of the development is acceptable, complementing the architectural style of the local surroundings.
“It is not considered that the amenities of neighbouring residential properties or neighbouring uses would be unduly harmed by the proposal.”
The Aldi supermarket would be at the back of the site, near the current M&S Food Hall and would front onto a new 193-space car park, which would bring the number of spaces at the retail park to over 360.
Designs for the new Aldi at the Moorland Centre.
A new entrance to the Aldi car park would be created off Moorland Way.
The drive-thru coffee shop is planned for the front of the site, close to The Elite Fish & Chip Shop.
Two retail units, which would be next to the Aldi supermarket, would be built in a second phase.
A 20-year-old man has been charged after police searched his Lincoln home and found various drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines and ketamine.
Officers completed a search under the Misuse of Drugs Act on Newark Road on the evening of Friday, January 15.
The property raided was the address of Henry Lamyman, 20, and he has been subsequently charged with possession of drugs with intent to supply.
He has been charged with six separate drug supply offences, after officers found cocaine, MDMA, cannabis, amphetamine, ketamine and psychoactive substances, namely LSD, at his home.
Police found approximately a kilogram of cocaine, over a kilogram of ketamine, more than 1,000 pills, 800g of cannabis and 270g of amphetamines.
He has also been charged with an offence relating to criminal property, and appeared before Lincoln Magistrates Court on Monday, January 18.
He will now face a trial by jury at Lincoln Crown Court on February 15, and has been bailed until then.
