When pupils return for the new term, all precautions including face masks and bubbles will have been scrapped, and the vast majority of under-16s are still yet to be vaccinated.

Experts fear it is ‘highly likely’ Covid cases will surge when schools in England go back next month.

In a newly published document, the scientists said the vaccine rollout will have made ‘almost no difference’ to many pupils. ‘Vaccination will also have made almost no difference in these population groups over the summer holidays. ‘This may reflect either community or within-school transmission, and the role of schools in driving wider transmission remains uncertain.All eyes will be watching closely as schools return, in what’s being seen as a crucial period during the pandemic.The warning is likely to fuel the debate about whether more 12 to 16 year olds should be offered the vaccine.

Covid: New Wales school guidance flabby, says trade unionNew rules mean schools will have 'variable measures' around tests, face masks and social distancing. Woow, who knew unions were also experts on virus contagion What wasted talents they have There should be no testing of any description, no masks, nothing at all.
