A school in Melbourne’s northern suburbs has closed as a precaution after a primary student tested positive to coronavirus.

It is understood the year five student from East Preston Islamic School had returned to school this week after only 11 days of isolation after coming into close contact with a confirmed case.

The boy had unknowingly caught the virus from the infected family member, with the school closing on Tuesday as soon as they were contacted by health authorities, The Australian reports.

Principal Ekrem Ozyurek said he was contacted by the Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday afternoon about the student, inquiring whether he was absent from school in line with isolation protocols.

“Our understanding is that this student was considered to be a close contact and was meant to be quarantining, but after day 11 he returned to school thinking that it was okay to do so,” Mr Ozyurek said.

“He stayed at home for the first week but I think his siblings had tested negative and he thought he was OK to come back too. But he hadn’t taken the test.

“I think there must have been some misunderstanding perhaps, some broken communication,” he added.

The boy had attended class for two days this week. He was tested for coronavirus on Tuesday and returned a positive result on Wednesday morning.

It is understood the department is contacting all those who had close contact with the child, including the classroom teacher, specialist teachers and other students.
