The Tes Podcast: Is It Safe For Schools To Reopen Amid The Coronavirus Crisis?

Join the Tes news team as we discuss fresh evidence today from government scientific advisers who say that a test, track and isolate system must be in place before schools can begin to reopen.

The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) also says that half-class rotas are the safest way to keep the R rate (the reproduction rate for the coronavirus) down, despite Department for Education guidance that primary schools should not use rotas when reopening from 1 June.
