STUDENT COVID-19 EVACUATION PLAN FOR ENGLAND
The UK is going to mount an evacuation-style operation combined with mass testing to get university students home for Christmas.

Unions warn the tight time-frame leaves little 'room for error'.
Universities minister Michele Donelan says the covid-19 rapid-testing element to the plan is not compulsory.
