Nadhim Zahawi also spoke about the twice weekly lateral flow tests that all secondary school pupils will be encouraged to take and which will be available at school.
'The second LFD test should be taken at least 24 hours later. If both these test results are negative, and the child or pupil does not have a high temperature, they may end their self-isolation after the second negative test result, and return to their education setting.' The advice on face coverings in classrooms – and Plan B regulations – will be reviewed on 26 January.Secondary school children, plus all visitors and staff, have been expected to wear face masks indoors since the end of November in Wales.
