A school in Portadown is to close today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) due to a number of positive Covid-19 test results.

Clounagh Junior High has asked parents and guardians to collect pupils as soon as possible.

It comes just days after a cluster of cases was confirmed at Craigavon Senior High in the town - forcing it to close its doors.

The Portadown campus closed after 48 pupils tested positive.

Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie praised staff for their response to the outbreak.

The school says it will be in contact with families regarding pupils returning to class.
