Plea to help curb Omicron spread
The education minister says a clear picture of staffing numbers in the Island's schools won't be known until the doors open this morning.
Pupils and teachers are being asked to wear face coverings, follow hygiene measures, and take frequent lateral flow tests.
Assemblies, activities between schools, and extra-curricular activities have all been suspended.
With concerns staff shortages could lead to further class disruption, Julie Edge has pleaded with people to take a test at home this morning:
WCAS 'not obliged' to provide reuse garages
MHK given leave to introduce free period products bill
Local authorities ask LegCo to 'protect democracy'
Constabulary launches Operation Uplift, tells road users 'make sure you're bright at night'
