School hubs won't open tomorrow

Hubs at Island schools for children of critical frontline workers won't open tomorrow.

Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Dr Alex Allinson MHK, says the decision has been made following detailed risk assessments of the current situation and concerns being raised about children from different households mixing.

All schools, nurseries and childminders closed to all youngsters last Friday (March 5) as a 'firebreak' to curb the spread of Covid-19 amongst the Isle of Man's young people.

Dr Allinson adds the situation will be reviewed in future and children should stay at home with remote learning set to continue.
