Year 13 of our local secondary school bubble sent home, one pupil tested positive.

Eight members of staff at Bacup Holy Trinity Stacksteads CE Primary School have contracted Covid-19 since a party on 5 September, head teacher John Aspin said. Another three, who did not attend, have since been infected and the whole school has now had to close.

In a letter to parents published on the school website, Mr Aspin said staff at the Lancashire school took an "ill-advised risk" when they attended a party at the home of a former colleague.

The staff, who did not break any government restrictions, "failed to appreciate the bigger picture" of the spread of the virus, Mr Aspin said. "I know each will be genuinely regretting the decision they took to attend what last year would have been an enjoyable event, but in the current situation was an ill-advised action to take, given their responsibilities to the children of the school and to their colleagues."

That doesn't seem too bad.

They clampdown will cover cites and towns including Preston, Lancaster, Wyre, Fylde, Chorley, Blackburn, Burnley and Rossendale.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has told senior MPs from the county that he will announce the clampdown in the morning and the rules will come into force on Saturday.

At a meeting on Wednesday night, the government's chief scientific adviser and medical officer presented predictions of another serious outbreak of the disease.

They forecast that there would be a significant number of deaths by the end of October if there were no further interventions.

The virus is now understood to be doubling every seven to eight days, with more than 3,300 new cases reported on Thursday.

Under the so called "circuit break", restrictions could be reintroduced in some public spaces nationwide for a period of a few weeks, but schools and workplaces would be kept open.

You must be doing something right .....
