How are isolation rules affecting schoolchildren?
Since the school year started last September, only one member of Emma Worthington's family has managed to avoid Covid-19. That's one of out six.
She and Max were the first to test positive last September, which resulted in him missing two weeks of school at the start of the academic year.But on 27 December, with Omicron circulating widely, her husband and their daughter, Maddie, both tested positive, meaning Maddie missed a few days of the new term.
Mrs Worthington has, so far, managed to avoid the virus this time around but has to spend more time at home because her younger children have not been able to attend class. Mrs Worthington is still following the guidelines but is now pondering the merits of isolation rules for schoolchildren.Brian McGrath says it is a difficult task to find cover for staff who cannot come into workAt one school in County Fermanagh, almost a quarter of the staff were off work this week.
