A school in Carrick-on-Suir has closed its doors today after an outbreak of Covid-19.
The Presentation primary school, which has over 300 pupils, told parents this morning that it is suspending its classes with immediate effect.
It is now waiting for public health specialists to carry out a full risk assessment. An update on classes is expected to be provided to parents later this evening.
It is understood that the school had informed a number of parents of 2nd class pupils over the weekend that their child had been deemed a close contact.
32 cases of Covid-19 were confirmed for Waterford in Sunday's figures while 30 cases were confirmed for Tipperary
