CONTACT tracing is ongoing at a Hillfoots school after an individual tested positive for coronavirus.
It is understood one person tested positive at Alva Academy while close contacts have been asked to self-isolate as a precaution.
A spokeswoman for Clackmannanshire Council told the Advertiser: “NHS Forth Valley’s Test and Protect team is carrying out Covid-19 contact tracing at Alva Academy.
“An individual who tested positive is self-isolating at home along with the rest of their household.
“Close contacts have also been advised to self-isolate as a precaution and given appropriate advice and support.
“Families were contacted by the school to update them on the action being taken and those unaffected young people are continuing to go to school as normal.
"Robust control measures are in place at the school and there is currently no evidence of transmission within the school itself."
