Newchurch Pre-School Closed Following Coronavirus Case

Newchurch Pre-school has been closed after a member of staff tested positive for coronavirus.

The Isle of Wight Council says the person in question has not been in contact with any children.

However, due to a lack of staff available, the nursery has been shut.

An Isle of Wight Council spokesperson said:

"The owner has sent an email to all parents explaining that an adult who has been in the setting has tested positive and that the adult has not been in contact with any children."

Newchurch Primary School, which is situated on the same grounds as the pre-school, is unaffected and remains open.

An interactive map, produced by Isle of Wight Radio, shows which Island schools have had confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Last week, it was revealed that more than 400 students on the Island are self-isolating at home.
