SECONDARY schools in Herefordshire are gearing up to reopen to all pupils in less than two weeks. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the return to the classroom on Monday, with all pupils due back on March 8 after two months of learning from home. Secondary school and college students will be expected to carry out twice-weekly testing, but this is voluntary and not compulsory. Initially testing will be at school, but students will then be expected to carrt out tests at home. Headteachers are urging parents to give permission as it should prevent any outbreaks. The lateral flow devices which will be used can return a result with 30 minutes, and are being used to find asymptomatic cases.
