“Subsequently, we have admitted four children (from the same family) and their teacher. They traveled in from the United State of America, they have been in closed proximity to someone who has Coronavirus infection.

“So we’ve had them in isolation for the past two days (Monday). Their first test is negative, we will repeat that in 48 hours and see what happens.
