The Department of Education has revised it's rules for mask wearing among primary school children

The Department of Education has revised its rules for mask wearing among primary school children.

Last week it advised that all kids in third class and above wear one, and that they should be sent home if they declined without a medical reason.

However in updated advice, it now says children should not be "excluded from school in the first instance" and that principles should engage "pragmatically and sensitively" with parents who object to their child wearing a mask in class.
