School kids aged 15 and over to be forced to wear masks in class in high risk areas in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon reveals

KIDS aged 15 and up will be forced to wear face masks in classrooms in high risk areas in Scotland, new guidance has revealed.

Almost all of Scotland, apart from a handful of local areas, are in at least Level Three restrictions. Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the changes were necessary after fresh scientific advice noting an "upsurge" in coronavirus cases among teens.Mr Swinney said: "Keeping schools open remains our priority but that can only be the case if schools are safe.

Guidance for England says: "On the basis of current evidence, in light of the mitigating measures education settings are taking, and the negative impact on communication, face coverings will not generally be necessary in the classroom even where social distancing is not possible."And if areas are thrown into Level 4, kids who have been told to shield will be sent home from schools again.
