More than 400 pupils at Fife school self-isolating

The headteacher of a Fife school says it only has about 50% attendance at the moment - as hundreds of pupils are self-isolating due to coronavirus cases.

Ten pupils and six staff members have tested positive for Covid-19 at Auchmuty High in Glenrothes.

As a result, more than 400 youngsters are having to stay at home - along with 13 workers.

Headteacher Alan Pithie says it is an "incredibly difficult situation to be going through" - but says things are improving, with no further cases reported since the start of this week.

He posted an update on the situation yesterday - the video can be viewed above.
