COVID-19 Screening to be piloted in secondary schools

School children will soon be screen tested for Covid-19 at home.

Government has confirmed students and staff will be given the opportunity to take two lateral flow tests a week at home.

It's thought to start as early as next Monday.

Anyone who tests positive will be asked to follow the current isolation guidelines.

Gov't says the pilot will contribute to the Island's long-term Exit Framework of living in a world with COVID-19.

It's been stressed taking part is voluntary.
