Significant levels of absence in Island schools
People have 'let things slip' in terms of mitigating the risk of catching winter illnesses and Covid-19.
That's the view of the Island's director of public health.
Plans are now in place to prevent disruption to face to face learning in schools after 'significant levels' of staff and student absence within secondary schools in particular.
Dr Henrietta Ewart says a combination of seasonal ailments, Coronavirus and a lack of focus on mitigation measures is combining to cause problems:
'Divisive' clause five removed from new local authority legislation
Campaigner urges Island to pilot recreational cannabis scheme
Funding model 'constraining' ability to tackle heritage 'critical maintenance backlog'
