Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed that a phased return to school for younger pupils will start from Monday. This will include pre-school children, pupils in primaries 1, 2 and 3, and a limited number of secondary students who need to carry out practical assignments. But she also warned that this would not mark the start of a broader easing of restrictions, telling MSPs that the core stay-at-home requirement would remain in place until at least the beginning of March.
