Any students who have travelled outside of the Bailiwick in the previous 14 days must have a negative PCR test for Covid-19 before going into schools, colleges and any other educational setting, under government advice.
Young people who have been out of the Bailiwick need a negative Covid-19 result less than 48 hours before they go into schools.
The requirement for testing also extends to school staff and other adults who help with activities in education settings or holiday clubs, if they have travelled outside of the Bailiwick in the 14 days prior.
Many school pupils will receive their results next week, including those waiting to find out whether they have secured university places.
The PCR tests for young people are free of charge and can be booked HERE. Once completed, the scheduling team will be in touch to book a test slot within the 48-hour period.
Further reminders of the requirements will be publicised before the start of the autumn term in September, when this system of pre-testing is "likely" to remain in place.
