themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-22--School ties and blazers could soon be banned

Blazers and ties could be banned from schools in September to help prevent the spread of coronavirus .
Some schools have already issued guidance to parents banning certain items because they want children in freshly washed clothes every day - and blazers ca n't be washed that often .
It comes as a bill is already going through Parliament to change school uniforms , ditching branded items with school logos which families struggle to afford .
The two combined could well mean that schools ban branded uniforms altogether .
And while some parents will be happy about the move , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threat to uniforms .
Conservative MP Andrew Lewer , the chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Independent Education , says traditional school uniforms at 'at risk of dying out ' .
He told The Telegraph : `` Covid-19 has already gravely disrupted the schooling of children right across the country .
`` The last thing we want to see is it now striking at one of the great traditions of British schools , distinctive uniforms worn with pride by pupils at 90 per cent of our schools .
“ As health experts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out , the coronavirus risk from a school blazer or tie is minimal .
“ Unlike hospitals , where staff have to change and wash their clothes every day , schools are places where the risk of transmission is extremely low.
” The bill going through Parliament calls for pupils to wear only unbranded clothing such as plain white shirts and grey trousers or skirts to keep the costs down for parents .
One school has already written to parents stating coronavirus and cost as reasons for banning blazers , shirts and ties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Beckfoot Oakbank School in Keighley , West Yorkshire , said unbranded polo T-shirts and jumpers would be encouraged to 'keep costs down ' and because of coronavirus , The Sun reported .
In a letter to parents , she wrote : `` DfE guidance ( which we have followed throughout ) states that blazers and ties are not encouraged as it is recommended that students and staff come to school each day in full clean clothes in the interest of safety for all .
`` Washing a blazer or a tie , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shirt daily is not realistic . ''
Another asked parents to send their children back to school wearing comfortable clothes such as T-shirts , hoodies and tracksuit bottoms when it reopened earlier this month .
Studies found that coronavirus can live on surfaces like clothing or towels for up to 72 hours , so parents are being asked to wash any clothes that kids have worn to school daily .
The NHS website states : `` All underwear , towels and household linen should be washed at 60C ( 140F ) or at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laundry product to prevent germs from spreading . ''
It also urges people not to leave laundry in the washing machine , saying that 'any remaining germs can multiply rapidly ' and advises people to wash their hands thoroughly after handling dirty laundry .
Does your child 's school insist on having branded products or can you get your own from the supermarkets and high street stores ?
Has it changed its uniform policy recently ?

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-22--Man United have two alternative formations vs Sheffield United

Manchester United will have to make changes to their side from game to game , such is the intensity of the Premier League 's restart .
Having not played any competitive football in more than three months , United are now facing two matches per week , virtually until the campaign is over , which could be well into August depending on their Europa League and FA Cup fortunes .
So while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in for some criticism after United 's 1-1 draw with Tottenham for the way he lined up his side - with Paul Pogba starting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have plenty of opportunities to rotate his squad .
The first of those comes this Wednesday night , as United prepare for their first home game , behind closed doors , since the resumption of the league season .
Sheffield United are the opponents , a side Solskjaer will know can cause United no end of problems .
That was certainly the case at Bramall Lane in November , as the two Uniteds played out a chaotic 3-3 draw that probably flattered the visitors who were well below-par .
Solskjaer fielded a fairly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you imagine he would be just as bold against Chris Wilder 's team at Old Trafford - even if home advantage counts for less in these crowdless encounters .
Should he stick with the system ?
There is no doubt Pogba must be accommodated in the starting 11 after his instrumental cameo appearance in the final half hour at Tottenham .
And Solskjaer could replace either Fred or Scott McTominay and put Pogba in the two-man central midfield .
Daniel James ' place is also under threat after the impact Mason Greenwood had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Alternatively , there are two other formations United could field to get the most from Pogba , Bruno Fernandes and their other attacking danger-men against the Blades .
In November , Solskjaer opted to match Wilder 's three centre-back system , as United fielded a 3-4-3 with Brandon Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as wing-backs .
It 's a system that morphed into a 3-5-2 with a little more success later in the campaign .
An extra central midfielder was needed because of the way Fred and Andreas Pereira were overrun that night @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fernandes may be the best choices for United 's midfield trio if Solskjaer uses the system again , with Williams potentially coming into the side and Luke Shaw dropping into the back three .
That would leave Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford as the United strike pair .
The other system Solskjaer may deploy is a diamond in midfield , which would allow two of Fred , Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic to start alongside both Pogba and Fernandes .
It would perhaps give United less width , with James the likely man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rashford up front , but may give them more control of the midfield .
It 's not just Pogba , Greenwood , Matic and Williams who are in contention to feature on Wednesday night .
Eric Bailly is another possible choice at at the back , either in a two or three-man central defence .
Odion Ighalo is also pushing Martial for the centre-forward spot .
Performance level against Spurs will surely dictate that Pogba comes in , though there is also fitness to monitor from a coaches ' perspective .
They must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , in a must-win game for United 's top four hopes .

Manchester United will have to make changes to their side from game to game, such is the intensity of the Premier League's restart.
Having not played any competitive football in more than three months, United are now facing two matches per week, virtually until the campaign is over, which could be well into August depending on their Europa League and FA Cup fortunes.
So while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in for some criticism after United's 1-1 draw with Tottenham for the way he lined up his side - with Paul Pogba starting on the bench - the Norwegian will have plenty of opportunities to rotate his squad.

Should he stick with the system? There is no doubt Pogba must be accommodated in the starting 11 after his instrumental cameo appearance in the final half hour at Tottenham. And Solskjaer could replace either Fred or Scott McTominay and put Pogba in the two-man central midfield. Daniel James' place is also under threat after the impact Mason Greenwood had on the right flank as a substitute.
Alternatively, there are two other formations United could field to get the most from Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and their other attacking danger-men against the Blades.
In November, Solskjaer opted to match Wilder's three centre-back system, as United fielded a 3-4-3 with Brandon Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as wing-backs. It's a system that morphed into a 3-5-2 with a little more success later in the campaign. An extra central midfielder was needed because of the way Fred and Andreas Pereira were overrun that night in Sheffield.
Pogba, Fred and Fernandes may be the best choices for United's midfield trio if Solskjaer uses the system again, with Williams potentially coming into the side and Luke Shaw dropping into the back three. That would leave Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford as the United strike pair.
The other system Solskjaer may deploy is a diamond in midfield, which would allow two of Fred, Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic to start alongside both Pogba and Fernandes. It would perhaps give United less width, with James the likely man to sit out and leave Martial and Rashford up front, but may give them more control of the midfield.
It's not just Pogba, Greenwood, Matic and Williams who are in contention to feature on Wednesday night. Eric Bailly is another possible choice at at the back, either in a two or three-man central defence. Odion Ighalo is also pushing Martial for the centre-forward spot.
Performance level against Spurs will surely dictate that Pogba comes in, though there is also fitness to monitor from a coaches' perspective. They must get the formula right against Sheffield United, however, in a must-win game for United's top four hopes.
Possible United formations vs Sheffield United
1. (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay/Fred, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.
2. (3-5-2): De Gea: Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Wan-Bissaka, Fernandes, McTominay/Fred, Pogba, Williams; Rashford, Martial.
3. (4-3-1-2): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay/Matic, Fred, Pogba; Fernandes; Rashford, Martial.

And Guardiola, who has been frustrated by the 25-year-old’s fitness struggles, was upbeat after watching the left-back complete 90 minutes.

Walker still has four years left on his City contract and remains a key figure under Guardiola with 22 league appearances this term.

In a statement on Monday, JD Sports said: "The Group can confirm that it has considered a number of strategic options for Go and that Go's directors have lodged the Notice in Court.
"This Notice creates an immediate moratorium around the company and its property which lasts for ten business days. During this moratorium, Go's creditors cannot take legal action or continue with any existing legal proceedings against the company without the Court's permission."
According to the Mirror, Go Outdoors employs about 2,400 staff across 67 stores, specialising in camping equipment, bikes and clothes.
The chain closed all its stores during April but began to reopen them from early May. However, continued restrictions on outdoor activities and the closure of campsites is likely to have hit its already struggling numbers.
The administration comes just four years after JD Sports paid £112million for the chain in November 2016, adding to its portfolio of companies, which include other outdoor leisure brands, including Blacks and Millets.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-22--Simple saliva test for coronavirus to be piloted this week

A simple saliva test for coronavirus is to be piloted this week which could be an alternative to the current testing method .
The new test only requires the individual to spit into a sample pot to be tested for current Covid-19 infection , the Department of Health and Social Care ( DHSC ) said .
This is significantly different to the existing invasive deep nasal and throat swab .
The trial is due to be launched in Southampton this week and is expected to run for four weeks with testing on a weekly basis .
Over 14,000 people working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other frontline roles have been recruited for the first phase .
The project is being jointly led by Southampton City Council , the University of Southampton and the NHS , the DHSC said , with the help of other public services in Hampshire .
Participants will receive test results within 48 hours and details of those who test positive shared with the NHS Test and Trace Programme .
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said : `` Saliva testing could potentially make it even easier for people to take coronavirus tests at home , without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial will also help us learn if routine , at-home testing could pick up cases of the virus earlier . ''
He added : `` I am very grateful to everyone involved in the trial who is helping us develop our understanding of the virus which will benefit not only our but the global response to it . ''
The test was developed by biomedical firm Optigene , and the DHSC said it is also looking at other non-swab , saliva-based tests from four other companies .
It said it is also working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scale up production of the kits .
There are concerns that the current method could be yielding a significant level of false negatives after research from Bristol University and John Hopkins university found that up to 20 % of swab tests return false negatives .
