Covid-19: INTO calls on Government to delay reopening of schools

INTO raised a number of concerns which included what they say is an increase in the number of positive cases identified as a result of mass-testing in schools in recent weeks, and the belief that a new strain of Covid-19, which is thought to 70% more transmissible, is already in Ireland.

The Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO) has called on the government to delay the reopening of schools as Ireland battles with a rising number of Covid-19 cases. 

It comes ahead of tomorrow’s cabinet meeting, where further restrictions will be discussed, in light of the record 1,546 new cases confirmed in Ireland today.
