A Dublin kindergarten sent an urgent letter to parents after a child tested positive for coronavirus.
Several children were identified as close contacts and asked to take a test.
Other children in the same “group” as the confirmed Covid-19 case have also been asked to restrict their movements for seven days.
The letter was sent to parents and guardians on Monday morning.

The HSE guidelines state that students who are not considered close contacts do not need to take a test and can continue to attend school normally.
However, parents were warned that any other children developing symptoms of Covid-19 should restrict their movements and communicate with their GPs.
It comes after it emerged yesterday that a large Meath school with more than 1,000 students also confirmed a case of Covid-19.
A boy from St Peter’s College in Dunboyne tested positive for coronavirus, the school confirmed.
The school currently has approximately 1,150 students enrolled.
School officials said they had been notified of the positive test yesterday morning.

They insisted that all close contacts of the confirmed case had been identified and that they have since been informed.
Principal Deirdre Maye told parents and guardians that there had been no overlap between the year groups on the school campus, and that students in the affected year group could contact her for advice.
The school added that all HSE advice has been followed since the case was confirmed.
