Leicester parents told to self-isolate after coronavirus outbreak at Humberstone schools

Parents of pupils at Leicester primary schools which shut after a coronavirus outbreak have been told to self-isolate for 14 days. Humberstone Infants school and Humberstone Junior School have both been closed ‘for the foreseeable future’. Humberstone Academy, which runs both schools, took the decision after they were shut on Monday when a teacher tested positive for Covid-19. The schools reopened on Tuesday but have now closed. Annemarie Williams, the executive headteacher at the schools, which share a site in Main Street, sent an e-mail to parents last night telling them of the decision to close.
