The First Minister is due to give an update this afternoon on the issue of Lockdown and any move to Phase 1 of recovery. This will also include the publication of some strategic guidance from the COVID-19 Education Recovery Group (CERG) on the process of staff returning to schools in June and pupils, potentially, in August. We will issue links to this advice tomorrow, along with an update of ongoing discussions.

The Scottish Government has produced supplementary guidance for education and childcare settings on implementing physical distancing and the use of Personal Protective Equipment during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The purpose of this supplementary guidance is to ensure provision made within education and childcare settings is as safe as possible for staff and children. Physical distancing, hygiene and self-isolation of those showing symptoms or living with someone showing symptoms will minimise the risk of transmission of infection.
