Significant levels of absence in Island schools
People have 'let things slip' in terms of mitigating the risk of catching winter illnesses and Covid-19.
That's the view of the Island's director of public health.
Plans are now in place to prevent disruption to face to face learning in schools after 'significant levels' of staff and student absence within secondary schools in particular.
Dr Henrietta Ewart says a combination of seasonal ailments, Coronavirus and a lack of focus on mitigation measures is combining to cause problems:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
