Covid-19: New rules for schools in England to be set out

BBC News says England’s schools will find out later how the government plans to relax rules that have led to large numbers of pupils being sent home if a single child has a positive covid test.

Last week the “bubble” system saw more than 375,000 children sent home.

It has meant missed days of lessons for thousands of pupils and frustration for parents juggling work and childcare.

The announcement will come amid a backlash to government plans to ditch rules on the wearing of face masks.
