[quote Notnowokay]@UncomfortableSilence I’m think you live in the same borough as my dm. They mass tested secondary schools and at dsis secondary they had more pupils wanting to take part off it that they added few extra date last weekend. I hope that is why they have lot of under 60s testing positive. Then again they are cancelling lots of operations in the hospitals because of lack of bed.
I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you.
Yes we are mass testing in schools, temporary test sites were set up at a few schools and a college. The school I work in had done amazingly until right near the end of term, we lost several teachers due to this mass testing where they tested positive but were asymptomatic.
DD1s school had a very bad time of it from October halt term onwards, some local schools were consistently having whole year groups out, it really has been the most difficult of terms.
Y11,12 & 13 were all given tests at the end of term to take home and do before the new term starts as were all school staff.
