Primary school class closes after Covid outbreak
A class at Chirk's primary school has had to close after five positive Covid cases.
Parents of pupils in Cedar class at Ysgol yn Waun have been urged to take their children for a PCR test to ensure there are no other cases.
The classroom closed on Wednesday.
Schools in the Wrexham County Borough area were due to have stayed open until December 22 but, because of the surge in Covid cases, the council has said that they will now close for Christmas on Friday.
Chief Officer for Education Karen Evans said that, due to the increase in concern over the number of Covid cases in schools and the impact on staffing, schools in Wrexham would move to online learning for the last three days of term - December 20-22.
However, onsite provision will be made for those pupils who are considered to be vulnerable or who are children of critical workers, where there are no other alternatives, she added.
