There have been more than 3,000 tests carried out in the UK with six people testing positive for coronavirus
Health officials are to tell schools that they do not need to close or send staff and pupils home if there is a suspected case of coronavirus.
The new guidance comes the week after at least seven schools in Brighton, Hove and Eastbourne were understood to have told parents that either a staff member or pupil has been advised to stay at home for 14 days by PHE. Schools messaged parents saying that they would authorise absences for families wishing to self-isolate.The Department of Health and Social Care said on Sunday that 3,109 tests have been carried out in the UK so far, with nine positive results.
More than 100 people remain in isolation at the Kents Hill Park Hotel in Milton Keynes after being on a later rescue flight, the NHS added. If a case of the virus is confirmed, then health protection teams will speak to the head teacher and action will be taken
