Primary and secondary schools are unlikely to reopen before September, according to the State's deputy chief medical officer.

It comes as the National Parents’ Council Primary and an expert from the World Health Organisation (WHO) called on the Government to consider re-opening schools as the numbers of Covid-19 cases continue to decline.
