A second school in County Cork has confirmed a case of Covid-19.

Scoil Chlíodhna National Community School in Carrigtwohill confirmed today that there is a case of coronavirus at the school.

The Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) has been notified of the case.

He said the school has, at all times, followed and implemented all Department of Education and Skills and HSE guidelines.

In a statement, CETB said: “The HSE is now managing this process and the school is working with the HSE and following all their advice.”

Scoil Chlíodhna is the second school in Cork to have a Covid-19 case since the schools reopened earlier this month.

Scoil Bhríde Eglantine in Douglas notified parents on Sunday, September 6.

Parents at the school were told that “relevant families” would be contacted and advised to send their children to school as normal, unless instructed otherwise.

Under current guidelines, schools are severely restricted in what information they can provide about an outbreak or confirmed case.

Public health officials decide the specific actions the school should take if there is a case of Covid-19.
