Guernsey's Grammar School and Sixth Form Centre has been closed to most students after a case of the Omicron variant was confirmed at the school yesterday evening.
The student who tested positive has no direct links to travel.

The School will stay open for children whose parents are working until Wednesday morning.

Healthcare services in the Bailiwick including Princess Elizabeth Hospital are now preparing for a potential increase in Covid patients, but they do not expect this increase to be severe.
