Mr. Michael Gillespie:

We are coming into the winter. We have been dependent in this regard. It is all to do with confidence. When students see the windows open, they know the air is changing. It is all part of the idea of keeping Covid out of the schools. We have hand sanitisers and physical distancing but we are in a temperate climate where the weather will get colder and the schools are not fit for purpose. It is an issue but it is not the only issue.
