What is the plan?
On the 8 March
- All schools and colleges will reopen
- University students can return for practical courses. There will be a review by the end of the Easter holidays for all other students
- Face coverings are recommended in class for secondary school students and also for parents and staff in primary schools
- Wraparound childcare can also return for vulnerable pupils and where it is needed for parents or carers to go to work, support groups or to seek medical care
- Two people from different households can meet outside for recreation, which can include “a coffee on a bench”
- One nominated person can visit care homes, but will need PPE, a lateral flow test and to “keep physical contact to a minimum”
