A cluster of cases of Covid-19 has been identified within the community in the Grantown area, NHS Highland says.

The health board's health protection team has undertaken case follow up in accordance with national guidance, it says, with contact tracing being carried out with all those identified as close contacts being advised to self-isolate.

Anyone not contacted by the health protection team should be reassured there is no cause for concern the health board says.

Dr Tim Allison, director of public health with NHS Highland, said: "We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the virus can recur even in rural communities and so everyone should continue to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, wear a face-covering when in enclosed spaces, clean your hands and surfaces regularly and immediately self-isolate if you develop symptoms."
