The Department of Education has published advice for parents and teachers on how to talk to children and young people about Covid-19 .

It says that children and young people need factual, age appropriate information about the virus and concrete instruction about how to avoid spreading it.

Very young children need brief, simple information and reassurance that they are safe and that the people they care about are safe, the document states. "They may ask 'Will I get sick? Will granny/grandad die?'" The document includes a link to an RTÉ news2day video where the Deputy Chief Medical Officer answers common questions.

It actually cross my mind, that our caretaker government was dragging there heels on purpose so the virus does take a hold. They refused to take action on the housing crisis, same with people on trolleys for days in hospital. Why do people think they'll care about us now.

The Dept. Of Education would be better to close all schools immediately. Why are they gambling with peoples lives. They allowed students travel to Italy on skiing trips with no regards to other peoples health. God forbid they might lose out on 800 euro.

School needs to be closed for at least 2 weeks...now ....right now....

Lol and they think that’s gonna get through kids I’ve seen 5th years not wash there hands just close the schools it’s not hard

Twenty-two countries have shut schools nationwide, and still Ireland is waiting for a massive spread of this virus 😡
