#LongCovid #COVID #BackToSchool
Some schools in π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ have already been forced to close due to staff absence from #COVID19
Some classes are are half empty as children continue to pass #DeltaVariant between one another.
πOn 16th Aug π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ recorded 477 new child cases
πOn 2nd Sept π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ recorded 2596 new child cases
Local Authorities and @scotgov continue to reassure us that children are not transmitting #Covid19 in schools.
Apparently school pick up/drop off is the culprit.
Do we think that is true? Does #DeltaVariant have such high intelligence that it refuses to enter school buildings?
With 5 more week of term to go, how many more kids will have to suffer until we do something?
How many teachers?
How many will develop #LongCovid and potentially suffer a lifetime of disability?

Many Local Authorities failed to #MakeSchoolsSafe
πInadequate ventilation
πLack of CO2 monitors
πWindows that don't open
We intend to repeat the FOI process in Oct to monitor the progress of risk mitigations implemented in schools.

βWe are no longer seeking to suppress Covid to the lowest possible level. Now we have vaccinations, the restrictions required to suppress Covid could not be justified" @JohnSwinney
Kids are not eligible for #Vaccination. How are they to be protected?
