Access to schools being tightened

Access to schools on Island during the latest lockdown is being restricted further.

Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Dr Alex Allinson MHK, has announced new measures in response to the recent rise in Covid-19 cases.

From Monday, they'll only be open to vulnerable children and will only be available to key worker children if their parents aren't at home and there's no-one to mind those children.

Meanwhile, financial services has been removed from the key worker list.

Dr Allinson is asking those affected to contact managers about working from home.

Director of Public Health, Dr Henrietta Ewart, has revealed 40 of the 106 active Coronavirus cases are young people aged between five and 19.
