As Covid-19 continues its deadly spread, the situation gets worse with the UK death toll rising. Now more people are returning to work, the prime minister said a phased return to school would begin with pupils in reception, year 1 and year 6. Secondary schools for pupils in years 7-9 are likely to remain closed until September.
In Denmark primary schools have reopened with special importance placed on hand washing and keeping groups of children apart. It was the first country in Europe to reopen its primary schools as they had contained the virus early on. Denmark has had fewer than 600 deaths so far. This is in stark contrast to the UK’s 40 thousand deaths.
A father of two said ‘Children shouldn’t go to school as the death toll is still rising, which can add a risk to our children’. Throughout this time, schools have been open to vulnerable students, but this week some primary schools welcomed back more students. With class sizes of no more than 15 people so they can stick to social distancing of being 2 metres away from each other. How easy is it to actually maintain this though?
Covid-19 has changed everyone's lives and puts vulnerable and old people at risk. The NHS doctors and nurses still require adequate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as they don’t have enough supplies to tackle the virus. There are many companies and individuals who are trying to help our NHS by making the PPE our health care workers need in colourful decorations by using blankets or cloth to create face masks, aprons and other PPE. Some schools have even created protective eyewear.
People around the UK have been clapping for our carers on Thursdays at 8pm. They did not only clap for them, they clapped for hope so we can all get through this pandemic which has changed everyone's lives.
Brent is the worst affected area in London. What will happen next for ACS and its community?
