The latest from bambuworld;
NSW:
Students and teachers will have access to rapid testing twice a week and masks will be compulsory in high schools under the NSW government’s back-to-school plan to be unveiled on Sunday.
Federal:
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended the roll-out of school vaccines, saying there would be enough jabs to go around and it was up to parents to use them.
Just one in four children were vaccinated by the end of last week and doctors have warned it will be impossible for them to vaccinate all 5-11 year olds before school returns in just over a week because they only receive 200 vaccines per fortnight.
Even if they could, children would only be partially vaccinated because there is an eight week gap between their first and second doses.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said by the end of next week, “we will have more vaccinations in the field than there are children”.
#####
Yes, everyone wearing a mask, properly...is a proven way to reduce the spread of Covid.
With social distancing added, the protection is even greater.
Moving the classes outdoors [into shade] would be even better.
