A mass-testing programme for teachers and pupils will be launched this week to help pave the way for the phased reopening of schools.
It has emerged that tens of thousands of tests are being delivered to schools throughout Scotland.Up to 24,000 students and more than 50,000 teachers will be “strongly encouraged” to sign up for home screening twice a week. Under the voluntary measures, senior pupils and staff will test themselves at home every three to four days — ideally in the morning before going to school.
