Carrie, whose surname is not being used, has severe asthma and said she had taken her son out of the school he usually attends in south Hampshire. "My body looks healthy but obviously internally people can't see the damage inside my chest, inside my lungs and the damage Covid would do," she said. "If he goes to school and catches it and gives it to me, it's going to damage him - it's going to have quite horrific consequences mentally for him."April told the BBC she disagreed with the government's "one size fits all" Covid policy in schoolsShe said the government had adopted a "one size fits all" policy to the guidance given to schools.

"The current policy is actively encouraging the transmission of Covid in young people, and they all go back to homes with parents and possibly elderly, vulnerable people," she said.
