Debian 10 "buster" has moved to archive.debian.org in order to free
space on the main mirror network.  We plan to start removing files for
non-LTS architectures in about two weeks; the existing Release files
will then refer to no longer existing files on the main mirror network.

An exception is the security archive (which already has no non-LTS
architectures): we will only archive it after LTS support ended.

For LTS users this does not require any changes.

People interested in Debian history will have to refer to
archive.debian.org in the future.

As I have not used or updated either the Code Club or Coder Dojo blogs for well over a year. These have been deleted with immediate effect. You can get Code Club updates from here, and STEM Group updates from here and the STEM Group blog.

I have also updated the LibreOffice blog to combine in to a single curriculum resource relating to each of the various modules. I will create and add more videos for Draw and Impress over time.

The Rocks and Diamonds remains unchanged.

From Monday 16th August self-isolation rules for contacts are changing share icon

What is changing?

• It is no longer a legal requirement for people who are fully vaccinated to self-isolate if they have been in contact with someone testing positive for COVID-19.
• Contacts are strongly advised to take a PCR test and to limit social contact.
• Anyone with symptoms is still advised to self-isolate and get a PCR test as soon as possible.

Fully vaccinated means:

• People who have been vaccinated with an approved vaccine in the UK
• There were 14 days between the final dose of the vaccine and last contact with the case.

Other groups who are exempt from isolation if they are a contact:

• Children and young adults under 18 years and 6 months
• People who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons

In summary:

• Contacts who are fully vaccinated or otherwise exempt will be advised to take a PCR test and limit social contact but will not be required to self-isolate whilst waiting for results of their PCR test.
• Under 5s will only be required to take a PCR test if they were in contact with a case in their own household.
• Those who are not fully vaccinated and are not exempt will still be required to take a PCR test and isolate for 10 days from their most recent contact with a positive case.
• If you are in isolation on the 16 August and fully vaccinated, you can stop isolation from 16 August.
