However, the local authority have now declared that hubs for children of key workers, such as NHS staff and police, will be operational from Thursday.

Schools had been set to open exclusively for S4, S5 and S6 pupils who had SQA coursework to complete and vulnerable children.

However, these plans have now been kiboshed, and all schools will be closed completely until Thursday.
