Secondary schools in England have been asked to prepare to test pupils on-site after Christmas.

" Tests, PPE and funding to support your workforce will be provided as before. After This test on return, pupils should continue to test In Line with Government guidelines. "

They were then asked to continue to test twice a week at homeSpeaking on behalf of the ASLC, Ms McCulloch said that the education sector recognises the importance of Covid-19 testing as a mechanism to reduce The Levels of transmission.
