Schools won't open until after Easter holidays

The Island's Education Minister says it's 'quite clear' schools won't reopen until after the Easter holidays.

Speaking at today's government briefing, Dr Alex Allinson MHK says whilst they're looking at options for hub schools in future, there are still many children who've tested positive for Coronavirus.

All schools, nurseries and childminders have been shut since March 5 as a measure to combat the spread of the virus among young people.

Meanwhile, no date has yet been confirmed as to when a hub school may open.

Dr Allinson adds they'll continue to work with teachers to keep up the provision of remote learning.
