The president and the general secretary of the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland (ASTI) have raised concerns about some schools “continuing as normal” despite a confirmed case of Covid-19.

Kieran Christie, the general secretary, told RTÉ radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show that the union was seeking more clarification from HSE officials about the rationale about allowing students and teachers continue as normal even after a student tested positive for the virus.
