Top Public Health Doctor: "No Zero Risk Options" - But Now Is The Right Time To Reopen Schools
Hundreds of thousands of primary and secondary students will be back at their desks today for the first time since March.
Dr Ronan Glynn says we now have enough evidence to say that the risk of the virus spreading among children is outweighed by the benefits of being back in education.
The latest data shows 42 more people have tested positive for Covid-19, but there are no further deaths.
Rachel Kenna, the Department of Health's Chief Nursing Officer, explains what parents will be told if one of their children's classmates tests positive.
