  2. Selby school pupils advised to continue wearing face masks

    Secondary school pupils in Selby are being advised to continue to wear face masks in the classroom from next week despite a change in government guidance.

    Face coverings have been recommended since the return to school in March - but that will end on Monday as part of the phasing out of lockdown measures.

    However, Louise Wallace, Director of Public Health for North Yorkshire, has said pupils in Selby should keep their masks on in the classroom due to higher than average Covid infection rates in the area.

    "The Covid rate in Selby is currently higher than the England 7-day rate per 100,000 population as a result of a local outbreak," she said.

    "For this reason, our advice for secondary schools in Selby is to continue the use of face coverings for staff and students in classrooms and/or communal areas until May half term."
