NASUWT also wants mandatory face coverings
Compulsory safety measures – including cancelling non-essential activities – should be introduced in Island schools.

The NASUWT says infection appears to be driven by pupils and staff and wants mandatory face coverings and a pause on whole school assemblies.
National executive member Damien McNulty says people must take these measures seriously to avoid following in Northern Ireland's footsteps:
