Teachers and the children of key workers and vulnerable pupils have been attending sessions at Springfield Primary School in Derby for the past few weeks, despite schools being closed down in March. As the school cannot be specific about which staff or pupils have been in contact with the confirmed cases, it means that anyone who has been at the school with them will have to self-isolate. "But we are happy that the cases do not affect any other school in the trust and is confined to Springfield Primary." Mr Blackwell said: "These two cases emphasise what can happen very quickly in a school environment. He said: "This would mean that if anyone had coronavirus confirmed in the group then only those children, and associated staff, would have to self-isolate and not the whole school."
