There were 30 outbreaks of Covid-19 in English schools after they reopened following the end of lockdown, analysis has found.
Of those, 67 were single confirmed cases, four were ‘co-primary’ and 30 were classed as outbreaks.

'What about kids' mental health all this time at home?' Well I'm sure their mental health will be much better if they all catch it & spread it to parents & grandparents! ⚰️ Everyone wants schools reopened. But clearly the virus STILL isn't under control & that's very worrying.
This is bollocks sorry this virus has been over reacted by all. Deaths have been made Covid for money reasons this is a flu and it will be here forever so get back to normal and stop posting bollocks end of 😡
We need to reopen the schools, end of.
It won’t kill the kids but they may kill their granny!
Not if schools don't reopen it's not.
