Nicola Sturgeon now sets out changes to guidance for schools.

She says blanket isolation of whole classes will no longer be routine and instead there will be a more targeted approach, with fewer young people asked to self-isolate.

However, most other mitigations will remain for the first six weeks of the new academic term, the first minister says.

This includes one metre social distancing between staff and pupils and face coverings for staff and children aged 12 and over.

Sturgeon says these measures will be kept under review.

All secondary pupils and staff will also be asked to take a lateral flow test before returning after the holidays and twice a week after that.
