A school in New South Wales has been forced to close after a student tested positive to COVID-19.
Lane Cove West Public School, located on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, will be closed on Thursday as contact tracing is undertaken.
NSW Health released a statement on Wednesday confirming the school would be “non-operational” on Thursday, June 25.

The department said a Year 2 student had tested positive to the virus.
“The school will be cleaned tomorrow prior to school resuming,” the statement reads.
“The school will continue to support students with learning materials provided by classroom teachers using SeeSaw and Zoom.”
NSW Health has urged anyone feeling unwell or with flu-like symptoms to present at a COVID-19 clinic for testing.
A clinic has been set up at Royal North Shore Hospital for students from the school.
The department said it would advise staff and students on Thursday on when the school would be likely to reopen.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has repeatedly criticised interstate travel restrictions and said she won’t agree to border closures with any of NSW’s neighbour states.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has told citizens to avoid Melbourne as the city experiences a coronavirus spike.
But she again urged against travel to Melbourne, particularly its six current COVID-19 hotspots: the local government areas of Hume, Casey, Brimbank, Moreland, Cardinia and Darebin.
Residents of those hotspots should not be moving around the community, the premier said, and NSW businesses should deny service to anyone from outer-suburban Melbourne.
She also implored NSW residents to avoid visiting Melbourne altogether.
But Ms Berejiklian said she was confident her Victorian counterparts would get the outbreak under control before drastic measures were required.
About 3159 COVID-19 cases have been reported in NSW to date, with none in intensive care.
Ms Berejiklian again encouraged NSW residents to seek testing if they felt unwell.
