Coronavirus cases have been confirmed in six York schools
SIX schools in the City of York Council area had cases of coronavirus amongst pupils or staff in the seven days to last Sunday.
The authority's latest Covid-19 Daily Data Tracker report says eight children of primary and secondary school age tested postive.
The figures are an improvement on a week ago, when eight schools had had cases, and 20 children had tested positive.
The figures pre-date the two cases which have been confirmed today at Manor CE Academy, which have led to almost 100 children being told to self-isolate at home.
