The headteacher of a school at the centre of a Covid outbreak says pupils aren't showing the main symptoms of the virus.
Nineteen pupils and seven members of staff, including the head, have tested positive at Woodfield Primary School in Wigan. Remaining staff 'are working over and above their usual hours, covering for absent colleagues'.
In a letter to parents, the head Anna Prior put the large number of cases down to the easing of wider restrictions outside school and the transmissibility of the current dominant Omicron variant.
