Covid update from Principal, Mark Jones (Monday 14 February)

Following last Friday’s updated guidance from the First Minister in relation to education, there will be no changes to our current Covid measures within the College before half term.

This means the following safety measures are all still in place:

• Hands, face and space
• Face coverings in all areas, including classrooms (unless exempt)
• Physical distancing
• Ventilation
• Advised use of lateral flow tests three times a week.

Clearly, there are proposals for face coverings to be removed within classrooms from Monday 28 February – but the final decision on this will be made on a local basis in partnership with local Public Health Wales and local schools.

Therefore, next week, we will continue to work with our local public health team and our local schools and communicate our decision as soon as possible.

Thank you for your ongoing support in continuing to help reduce the transmission of the virus.

Mark Jones
Principal
