Letters to the editor: Revoke rule for masks on schoolchildren

Age category runs a minor statistical risk of a bad outcome from a Covid infection so why risk their education, development, self-esteem, and mental health?

Have the government made a mistake on insisting on masks for young schoolchildren?

Even though my children are long since past primary school age and I don’t have any grandchildren, I feel compelled to write on the issue of masking primary school children aged nine and over.

We are told that this is to “protect the health of the entire school community”.
