En #Angleterre multiplication par 50 des infections dans les #écoles ; les #enfants/adolescents de 11 à 16 ans sont désormais le groupe d’âge avec les niveaux d’infection les plus élevés.
Professor Stephen Reicher of the University of St Andrews, of Independent Sage, said: “In the summer, the government effectively abandoned schools, requiring them to be safe but without providing the support or the resources to make this possible.
“As a result, far too many of our children are left in crowded, badly ventilated classrooms; infections have increased 50-fold since September; one in five students are off school; and all this is now putting the whole community at risk.
“The government must acknowledge its error and change direction. We must act urgently to make schools safe.”
