Here is data from PHE yesterday showing the the *top activity* by far for new confirmed cases was a child in school.

Data from a couple of weeks ago showing the incredibly high rates of infection in secondary school age children in variant hotspots - higher than their equally unvaccinated older counterparts.

Here is data from last week's ONS infection survey showing increasing numbers in secondary school children. This week will go up shortly.

Here is PHE data on school outbreaks from yesterday. We know from PHE that these are not complete. But we can see rapid growth - yes mirroring rapid spread of delta variant - in school outbreaks.

This does not make it ok. /END
