NHS Fife is issuing an update on a cluster of COVID-19 cases associated with Canmore Lodge Care Home in Dunfermline.

A total of 44 residents within the home have now tested positive for COVID-19. 58 staff at Canmore Lodge Care Home have also been confirmed as positive for the virus.

Sadly, there have been six deaths amongst care home residents who tested positive for COVID-19 and our thoughts are with their families and loved ones at this time.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, anyone experiencing the well-established symptoms of the virus, regardless of how mild, should immediately self-isolate and arrange a test using the NHS inform website www.nhsinform.scot or by calling 0800 028 2816.
