Education minister says message needs to be stronger
The education minister says face coverings in Island schools are now 'expected' not just 'recommended'.
It's as schools around the Island face an increase of staff and student absence due to the spread of Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
Next week Ballakermeen High School is asking year 10 students to stay at home on Monday and Tuesday and year nine from Wednesday until Friday.
Dr Alex Allinson admits the message around mitigations now needs to be stronger:
Paper car tax discs cost DOI £7,500 each month
Milan Vets extends farm services following feedback from clients
Jason Roberts appointed as Clerk of Braddan Commissioners
This evening's sailing cancelled
Thief who stole almost £1m from elderly man refused privy council hearing
