'Schools won't have social distancing'

Social distancing measures won't be in place at schools when they re-open, according to Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK.

Primary and Secondary sites have re-opened today for staff to make preparations, whilst children who've been attending hub schools can head back to their own school from Wednesday (June 17).

However, Mr Quayle says social distancing measures won't now be necessary in schools given the lifting of restrictions from today.

He adds it's hoped all children will be able to return next Monday (June 22) and this would be on a voluntary basis until September.
