The statistics come from the Education Minister who was answering questions in the House of Keys this week.

Julie Edge said 100% of staff within schools are wearing face coverings, but the number of students doing so varies.

Currently, face masks are "expected" to be worn in education settings - with the exception of years 1 - 4 and primary school students.

Mrs Edge added said support is being offered to encourage face coverings in all education settings.
