Mr Williamson announced that restrictions including staggering start and finish times, the recommendation of wearing face masks in school settings, and social distancing will be removed.Â
Headteachers will also no longer have to conduct tracing of contacts within schools when outbreaks do occur, with the responsibility handed to NHS Test and Trace. And from August 16, children will only need to isolate if they have tested positive.Â
