[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2297874, member: 521172"] Even Sturgeon admits it! [B][I]More schoolchildren will get coronavirus, says Sturgeon[/I][/B] [I] A rise in the number of pupils contracting Covid-19 is inevitable, Nicola Sturgeon has said. The First Minister spoke about the clusters of the virus across the country, including those affecting schools, at the Scottish Government’s coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh on Tuesday. She stressed the importance of keeping schools open as the harms of children losing out in an education are “considerable”. “But we will inevitably I think see more cases which involve school pupils in the weeks and months ahead,” she said. “In those cases, as has happened in the ones that I’ve mentioned today, contact tracers will identify if other students or staff at schools need to isolate and will let them and their parents know.” She also stressed current cases are community clusters with impact on schools rather than school-based clusters. Speaking about the clusters across Scotland, she added: “Though I don’t want to alarm anybody, I do want people to take notice – in fact I need people to take notice. “These clusters show us that these virus continue to pose a serious risk.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
