Schools received an outline draft of a new set of proposals yesterday; this is with one day to go before the Christmas break-up and the intention is to implement them when students begin to return in January. They arrived at gone 5:00 pm, by which time the news was already reporting that there would be changes, although not exactly clear about what they would involve. The words draft and outline are pertinent here; 'sketchy' was how they were described by someone we know.
These proposals cover staggered returns, in-school testing (but only with parental consent) and arrangements for administering tests, handling and disposing of swabs; all brand new stuff to be resolved over what is supposed to be a shutdown.
