School sends children home over fear of outbreak following confirmed monkeypox case

A school has sent students home after a confirmed monkeypox case led to fears of an outbreak before the summer holidays.

Grand Avenue Primary and Nursery School in Surbiton, South West London, took advice from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to ask some pupils to leave the premises while contact tracing was underway.

The school, for children aged 3 to 11, remains open but parents have been told to contact NHS 111 if they notice any unusual blisters or rashes on their kid's body, reports MyLondon.
