A SCOTTISH primary school has been shut after a suspected outbreak of the Omicron coronavirus variant
Todholm Primary in Paisley told parents via email on Sunday that it would be closing.

Explaining the closure, Renfrewshire Council said: "This is due to Covid-19 cases linked to the school confirmed as being, or with the potential to be, the new Omicron variant.
"Following identification of cases, a further risk assessment was carried out by public health and environmental health teams and all appropriate health and safety measures were found to be robust.
"We have apologised to parents for any disruption and will keep them updated."
The council says the school does not have enough staff members available to stay open, with pupils and staff contacted by NHS contact tracing teams...
