Belfast school makes face coverings mandatory

Yesterday it became mandatory for people to wear face coverings in shops and certain indoor settings, but the guidance for schools to date does not include this measure.

The School's Senior Leadership Team and the Health and Safety Committee, including governors and medical practitioners made the decision while planning for the safe return of pupils. "We also note with interest the decision taken by schools in the Republic of Ireland to make the wearing of face coverings there mandatory," she said.

"The risk assessments and all health and safety measures, including the mandatory wearing of face coverings, will be kept under regular review," she said.
