In Leeds, primary schools reopened last month after being forced to close back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Schools were told to keep pupils in class or year-sized 'bubbles'.

This allows schools to easily identify those who may need to self-isolate if someone within the bubble tests positive for the virus.

Since schools reopened in Leeds, a number of "bubbles" have been collapsed due to positive coronavirus cases.
