Lime Academy Watergall and Bretton Community Pre-School, both in Watergall, Bretton, announced last Wednesday that they were closing their doors for the rest of the week.

Both confirmed to the Peterborough Telegraph this morning that they were open again with everything returning to normal.
So far there have been no confirmed cases of the infection in Peterborough.
It is up to schools to decide whether to close while testing is taking place, with both Arthur Mellows Village College in Glinton and Market Deeping Community Primary School taking a different stance to the schools in Bretton by opting to stay open.
