Ronan Glynn confirms move to cut period of isolation from 14 days to 10 days - based on advice from Expert Advisory Group.
Glynn also says nasal swabs are "an acceptable alternative to nasopharyngeal swab (the long ones) for use in children in the community. This will hopefully make testing a simpler process for children going forward.”
