“However, there is a minority of people who feel as though they do not have to follow the rules and we will continue to take action against them.

“The new restrictions prevent people from mixing with people from other families or bubbles and we will respond to any concerns from the public on this issue.

“If we do not acknowledge and adhere to the requirements, there will inevitably be consequences that impose more restrictions on all of our daily lives.

“All of our students have been informed that they – just like everyone else – play a critical role in limiting prevalence This virus.
