Reopening schools ‘among safest things we can do’, says Taoiseach

Leo Varadkar hinted that schools could open ahead of September in light of new evidence.

Reopening schools is “among the safest things” that can be done in the next few months, the Taoiseach has said.

His comments came as the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) said children were not substantially contributing to the spread of Covid-19 in their households or in schools.
