COP26 - Day 9: A just transition means gender equality

COVID spike in schools: Government missing in action
Commenting on a COVID-19 update at a meeting of Children's Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Chair of the committee Councillor Hilde Hendrickx said "Whilst we expected figures to rise as students returned to school, these figures are very high and they are worrying. At the start of the school year the Department of Education told schools not to continue with COVID safety measures such as wearing facemasks and operating in bubbles. In spite of the surge in cases, the government still just seems to be standing by and our schools have received very little guidance. In addition, only a small percentage of the 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors the government promised to schools as part of the drive to improve ventilation, has been delivered."
