Coronavirus: Plymouth primary school testing and call for vaccine priority

SimpsonZComments(772)

A Devon headteacher has called for school staff to be prioritised in the race to get the country vaccinated next.

  • Training for the Lateral Flow tests started this week for primary school staff, turning results around in less than an hour.
  • The Government expect staff members to do two tests per week, although optional.

The Department of Education rolled out training this week for the new Lateral Flow coronavirus tests, preparing the primary school staff for rapid testing, however, it’s been announced that part of the secondary school testing resume has been paused.

Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson said:

“This huge expansion of rapid testing for those working in education is a milestone moment in our work to keep schools and colleges open for all.”

Dr Mary Bousted, joint secretary of the National Education Union suggests there are raft measures to conquer the virus including social distancing, vaccinations and testing

Headteacher of Thornbury Primary School, Claire Hardisty has continued to adapt to the regular government guidance, opening their doors safely to 40% of their pupils this term, with around 30% daily attendance.

Children of critical workers and children who are considered vulnerable can have in-school provision, while the remaining pupils are learning online during the latest lockdown.

“As our school is so close to Derriford Hospital, we have lots of parents who work in the NHS. They are providing a vitally important service to our community, and being able to work, knowing their children are cared for and educated is a big help to them.“

In-school learning must continue to stay open to help parents and carers with their children over lockdown who may have other important commitments.

(Pupil Fynn Olinsky, aged 10)

it is to be hoped that along with testing, vaccinations and community measures all children can go back to their school classrooms.

The school started putting control measures in place since February last year which Thornbury Primary School has continued to overcome the new government guidance keeping both staff and pupils safe.

Now children and staff have allocated bubbles, totalling in 7 altogether where they cannot mix with each other to prevent the spread of the virus. School staff are not scheduled as of yet to be vaccinated of yet.
4.3 million out of the 15 million priority group have received the vaccine who include: over 80, care home residents, the NHS and social care workers. Mrs Hardisty says:

“School staff should be considered as soon as possible, as it’s recognised that keeping schools open is very important for children’s wellbeing and learning.”

“Many schools have older workers, and those with health needs, or might have family members who are vulnerable in some way, and we all come into contact with a lot of people- a vaccination would hopefully help school staff be safer.”

Latest figures in this Plymouth area shows a rapid rise in positive coronavirus cases.

National Education Union joint secretary Bousted stated:

“This is why there can be no premature wider school openings before COVID infection rates are significantly reduced.”

Thornbury Primary School believe it’s important for children to have ‘continuity of education’ and Mrs Hardisty looks forward to welcoming back her pupils in more normal times.

It is to be hoped that the vaccine and other current measures amongst primary schools will see pupils back to their classrooms soon.

(Year 5-6 classrooms)

Her heart-warming message says:

“I would like children to know how proud I am of them all…We are a school family, whether in lockdown or not, and I look forward to when we can be back together in normal times. I can ensure you, that on that day, whenever that may be, that I will have tears in my eyes and song in my heart.“

  17. I look after a vape shop directory and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the USA that likewise advertises CBD goods. A Month later, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been limited and have asked us to take out PayPal as a payment method from our vape shop directory. We do not offer for sale CBD product lines like CBD oil. We merely offer internet marketing solutions to CBD companies. I have checked out Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Reputable Wellness Merchant and if you take a good look, you will witness that they offer a rather wide-ranging variety of CBD product lines, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method. It seems that PayPal is employing twos sets of rules to many different companies. As a result of this constraint, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related internet site. This has limited my payment options and now, I am seriously reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have gotten in touch with a lawyer from a Magic Circle law firm in The city of london and they said that what PayPal is undertaking is altogether not legal and inequitable as it should be applying a systematic criterion to all firms. I am still to seek advice from another lawyer from a US law firm in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. Meanwhile, I would be extremely appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could offer me with different payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD companies.

Jokereiden liiketoimintaa pyörittävän Jokerit Hockey Club Oy:n liikevaihto oli viimeisimmällä tilikaudella noin 14 miljoonaa euroa. Tappiota seura teki 11,27 miljoonan euron edestä. Jatkoajalla Jokerit joutui kuitenkin taipumaan. Jokerit siirtyi KHL:ään vuonna 2014. Kuuden vuoden aikana seura on tehnyt tappiota 82,8 miljoonan euron edestä. Jokerit näyttää muutenkin sekoilevan talousasioissaan. Jokereiden liikevaihto kuitenkin kasvoi reilulla 18 prosenttiyksiköllä sen ollessa nyt 14,4 miljoonaa euroa. Kasvua oli edelliseen tilikauteen nähden 2,25 miljoonaa euroa.
