Meanwhile, Dr. Mary Favier (President of the Irish College of General Practitioners) has stated that available evidence indicates that schools are a relatively low-risk environment and that kids are more likely to get the virus at home, rather than at educational facilities.
Dr. Favier stated we need to be vigilant for the symptoms, but the average child can go to school, unless they have additional symptoms, such as a new cough or a shortness of breath. Any such symptoms could potentially indicate that testing is needed and the student should stay at home.
Please stay safe by reducing social contacts; avoiding crowds; physically distancing; wearing face coverings and washing your hands regularly.
