School drops assemblies as Coronavirus precaution

A high school in Douglas will stop holding assemblies as a precaution against Coronavirus.

The action taken by Ballakermeen High School is being taken as a precaution - there are still no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Island.

Headteacher, Adrienne Burnett, says the measure will avoid larger year groups being in close proximity for extended periods of time.

Pupils who're taking time off to self-isolate are being informed that they can use their student login details to access online resources.
