Does the Minister therefore think it is right that teachers are told to switch off their phones? Who is telling them to switch off their phones so that they are not continuously bleeping if there are students within the school with confirmed cases? Neither I nor the Minister would be told to switch off our apps. Is it right they are being told to switch them off, that they are not a close contact or that they are not given the information that may affect their own lives, health and well-being?
