WHO rep says Ireland right to debate balance of return to school

Dr Nabarro said he understood decisions being made for economic reasons, but that they should only be made on a health basis.

Guidance on social distancing for schools will be subject to review according Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn.

World Health Organisation (WHO) representative Dr David Nabarro has said that teachers unions and the government are right to debate the balance of risk of a return to school in September.
