Several students at Bannerman were found to be positive for COVID-19 while at least one staff member at Peterhead has tested positive.
Peterhead is the latest school to close in Scotland and Aberdeenshire Council have stated that the test and protect system is now underway to ensure the appropriate measures are followed.
A council spokesperson said:
"A number of staff from Peterhead Central Primary School are currently self-isolating following the identification of a confirmed case of coronavirus within the school team. Test and Protect procedures have been followed, and the school will be closed tomorrow. Parents are being advised."
