Parent catches coronavirus forcing school to close for deep clean

A parent has caught coronavirus and their child or children's school has been closed for a deep clean, it is reported.

In most cases, it is because pupils and staff recently returned from ski trips in northern Italy's "red zone", where more than 400 people have been diagnosed and 12 have died. The closures come after travellers returning to the UK from northern Italy were told they may need to self-isolate as part of measures to stop the spread of illness.

Austria, Croatia and Switzerland reported their first cases linked to the outbreak in Italy while Spain and France recorded new ones, also involving people who had been to northern Italy. Meanwhile, Prince George and Princess Charlotte's primary school, Thomas's Battersea, is one of several that have sent pupils home as a precautionary measure following trips to northern Italy.

The Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall and her husband, former England rugby player Mike Tindall, will not be self-isolating following their return from a skiing trip to the Lombardy region, a spokeswoman for the couple said.
