Two schools in Kerry have sent some of their students home after pupils tested positive for COVID-19.
Both schools - a primary and a secondary - are in the same area.
The secondary school sent home students in one school year after a pupil tested positive for COVID-19.
The school found out this morning that the student had contracted the virus.
The school immediately contacted the HSE for direction.
The school took the decision to send home all the students who are in the same class year as the pupil.
Just one student in the secondary school has tested positive for the virus.
Radio Kerry News understands that the primary school, which is in the same area as the secondary school, sent home two classes after a pupil tested positive for coronavirus.
The primary school wouldn't comment.
