The American Academy of Paediatrics recently produced a report, stating:
This, in turn, places children and adolescents at considerable risk of morbidity and, in some cases, mortality. Beyond the educational impact and social impact of school closures, there has been substantial impact on food security and physical activity for children and families.
That is a report based on the American experience. Is that mirrored by the Irish experience?
