Year 2 Sydney student tests positive to COVID-19, school closed - Sydney Morning Herald

A primary school on Sydney's lower north shore will close on Thursday after a year 2 student tested positive to COVID-19.

Lane Cove West Public School will be "non-operational for on-site learning" after the confirmed test, NSW Education said in a statement.

"The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is of paramount importance to us at all times," the statement said.

"As such we will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.

"Students will continue to be supported through (the) existing learning from home arrangement while the school remains closed for cleaning on Thursday."

A clinic has been set up at Royal North Shore Hospital for students from the school. NSW Health has requested anyone who has been unwell or has flu-like symptoms to be tested at one of the COVID-19 clinics.

Further advice will be provided on Thursday advising when the school will resume on-site learning, NSW Education said.

Government school students in NSW returned for on-site learning on May 25 after nearly two months of remote learning.

However, a number of public and private schools have since temporarily closed after members of the school community tested positive for COVID-19, including Laguna Street Public School, Rose Bay Public School, Moriah College, Waverley College, St Ignatius College, Riverview and Warragamba Public School.

There have been 3159 confirmed COVID-19 cases in NSW and 48 deaths. There have also been almost 2800 recoveries.
