Regular Covid-19 testing in schools for frontline staff.
Provide regular testing kits for staff to be tested on a weekly basis, similar to care homes.
Schools and colleges are important to stay open to educate the youth and to prevent bigger gaps in learning.
This however doesn't hide the fact that frontline staff in schools are at a much higher risk. Most outbreaks are currently being seen in school settings.
We need to protect the youth of today and to prevent large outbreaks in the wider community especially through asymptomatic spreading. This may give parents more confidence in sending their children to school.
