I appreciate all that and those issues have been well flagged.
I have some questions for the National Parents Council. Parents are not totally clear as to when they should keep their children home. They also have concern over income support. If they do the right thing by keeping their children out when they display symptoms or if there is a positive case in the school, they are worried that they will be significantly out of pocket. They feel there is a need for Government intervention there. Do the representatives of the National Parents Council agree?
