Key points:
-Since hospital grade PPE is neither obtainable (needed for medical staff) nor practical for teaching young children (scary and next to impossible to teach in) this is not recommended
- Since face coverings would need to be worn by all the children to have any effect at all (this relates to the science that a face covering only protects those around you not the person wearing), this isn't practical or recommended.
-They are NOT suggesting children are kept separate from all other children (as some fairly alarming photos on social media have shown).
-Children should be kept away from others who are NOT in their group bubble (the max 15 other children they WILL be mixing with). These groups should remain the same with the same adult to limit exposure for the adult.
- Any staff who are (clinically) vulnerable or live with someone vulnerable should be leading remote learning from home.
-Any children who are (clinically) vulnerable or who live with vulnerable should stay at home
- Parents should be socially distanced. To enable this, each bubble of 15 children should be dropped off at a different entrance or time.
If you disagree with these measures, please say what measure you think would be better, since children remaining home for up to 2 years is neither desirable nor healthy.
