MHRA no to test / isolate & DFE say go ahead!

[3asAbird]

If they not approved by national UK medical regulator the MHRA lateral flow tests used regularly in schools instead of isolating if close contact would the DFE wish to plough ahead?
Is this annoy unions so much it delays reopening schools?

Why is my eldest senior school inviting my child and all their pupils to test twice in jan with low level of accuracy tests when schools probably won't return until at least Easter?

It's an absolute fucking disgrace that Dof E even think of over-ruling safety advice such as this

I'm devastated about the impact it will have on my autistic child as it is essentially allowing the virus to run riot through schools and she will be having to do the isolation every single time. If all children have to do the isolation as a close contact then it helps reduce spread in schools and hopefully reduce the need for children who can't be tested to be constantly off

Very good point penguin.
