Close contacts will continue to be advised to self-isolate until they get a negative PCR test.

For children and young people, a high-risk contact is most likely to be a household member, or someone they have stayed overnight with.

But she says letters that schools send to lower-risk contacts will now be sent on a targeted basis to those who are most likely to have had low-risk contact with someone who has tested positive.

This is to make sure parents, staff and pupils are aware of those cases.

So letters may be sent to the classmates of a pupil who has tested positive, but not to everyone in their year group.

Pupils who receive these letters will now be asked to take a lateral flow test before they return to school.

She says all these measures "reflect our commitment to prioritising the wellbeing of children and young people - and our determination to minimise disruption to education."
