Health officials have found evidence of coronavirus spreading in two schools in Glasgow.
The schools have not been identified by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde but they are both in the Glasgow City Council area.
The health board said there was evidence of transmission of the virus amongst a small number of cases in school settings.
In a statement, they added that it was being "carefully managed".
However the number of schoolchildren testing positive for the virus remains low. Of 29,500 tested across Scotland last week, 37 returned positive results.
Two weeks ago, 17,500 children aged between two and 17 were tested and 49 were positive.
The development follows the introduction of new restrictions on people visiting other households in Glasgow and two other areas.
About 800,000 people in Glasgow city, West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire are affected by the rules.
Among the new restrictions is the advice that all close contacts of positive cases and their households should self-isolate for 14-days.
In the rest of Scotland, only the person identified as a close contact is required to self-isolate.
Meanwhile contact tracing has begun at Lochend Community High School and Hutchesons' Grammar School in Glasgow
The health board said staff and pupils should still attend unless identified as a close contact.
