Our latest data shows that #COVID19 outbreaks linked to #school settings & cases among school-age cohorts have remained low and broadly reflected what is happening in the wider community.
The latest PHE data suggest there have been 97 confirmed #COVID19 outbreaks in primary & secondary #schools that have had at least one #variant case linked to them over the most recent 4-week period.
