Government plans ‘flexible’ return for youngest pupils after half-term, as long as Covid rate continues to fall
Some primary pupils in Wales could return to classrooms after the February half-term as long as the Covid infection rate continues to fall, the Welsh government has revealed, in contrast to English plans for no return until at least 8 March.
As expected, the lockdown in Wales, which began before Christmas, will stay in place for at least another three weeks – until 19 February.
