The first school in the South to be hit by a positive Covid case among its pupils in the Omicron outbreak was "calm but quiet" yesterday.
Musselburgh School principal Rob Taylor said years 5 and 6 pupils from the Dunedin school were isolating at home yesterday after a pupil tested positive at the weekend.
"I'd say there's concern in the community, of course," Taylor said.
"Primary school students, 12 and under, are the largest group of unvaccinated people in the country."
