Gavin Williamson has confirmed that university students will be able to leave their campuses over Christmas, although some may have to self-isolate first. The education secretary said the government would work with universities to make sure students would be able to return home ‘safely’. ‘Where there are specific circumstances that warrant it, there may be a requirement for some students to self-isolate at the end of term,’ Williamson added.
