I have a number of questions for Dr. Glynn on the reopening of schools. Over the next few weeks, almost 1 million people will return to some sort of educational setting. That is a huge logistical headache for everybody involved.
My first question is on a comment made my Dr. Michael Ryan of the WHO, who said that school reopening should not become a political football. On purely medical grounds, is Dr. Glynn confident, as the acting Chief Medical Officer, to facilitate the full reopening of all schools in the context of the current figures?
