Following advice from the Technical Advisory Cell that families should self-isolate ahead of Christmas in order to prevent coronavirus transmission, Plaid Cymru is calling for the Welsh Government to allow schools to close next week.
Plaid Cymru Shadow Minister for Education, Sian Gwenllian MS said,
“The latest advice from the Technical Advisory Cell to the Welsh Government has shone a light on the risk associated with schools remaining open, and must be taken seriously.
“Welsh Government should allow schools to close next week and encourage those who can to keep children home, whilst keeping a skeleton staff in place to look after those who still need to go to school.”
