The COVID Diaries – 96 2nd July
The government has published guidance on how it expects all children to return to school in September. Classroom desks will be reorganised and mobile testing units sent to schools while children will be divided into “bubbles”, kept separate from other groups of children to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Teachers will be told to keep their distance from children. There will be no assemblies and government suggests that timetables, school start times and break times should be staggered, with specific details left up to each school depending on its circumstances and layout.
