The Department for Education has released guidance for schools and other educational settings on the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.
The guidance will assist schools and other educational settings in providing advice for pupils, students, staff and parents or carers on how to help prevent spread of all respiratory infections, including COVID-19 and what to do if someone confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 has been in a school or other educational setting.
It also includes what advice to give to individuals who have travelled to specified countries and areas within the last 14 days.
It has also produced a downloadable poster on Coronavirus advice for educational settings which can be printed and displayed.
A new survey by the British Council has revealed that more than two thirds (67%) of primary school age children say they would like to spend more time at school learning a language.
