@Trickymatters: I think its you that are unable to listen,
Under 18s will not have to self-isolate
Javid says we are not currently offering vaccinations to most people aged under 18.
But the government wants to ensure they can get the life experiences that are so important to their development while keeping them safe from this deadly virus, he says.
In line with the approach for adults, anyone under the age of 18 who is a close contact of a positive case will no longer have to self-isolate, he says.
Instead they will be given advice about whether they should get tested, dependent on their age, and will need to self-isolate only if they test positive.
These measures will also come in on 16 August ahead of the autumn school term.
The government is also looking at how to remove the need for fully-vaccinated UK arrivals to quarantine after returning from an amber list country.
Lets see what the idiot Williamson has to say regarding schools and colleges
