Families with children in school or college will be able to test themselves for Covid twice a week from home - under plans for schools to safely reopen in England. Schools and colleges are set to reopen on March 8 in the first phases of bringing the country out of lockdown. Secondary and college pupils will be tested with lateral flow tests twice a week, receiving three initial tests at school before they start taking them at home. Families with college-aged teenagers who are not studying are not included in the plans, the DHSC said.
