It's probably helpful that the infection rate is lower there than here, however there seems to be little regard for the fact children can be carriers without having any symptoms. I have a good friend who is a teacher and head of his department at a secondary school. He's been told he has to resume work, despite some minor health conditions that put him on the "at risk" list. Unions are now involved. Employers presumably have a legal obligation to ensure staff are safe, so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out
Are you talking about a friend who is a teacher here or in Holland. I thought only 'serious' health conditions put people at risk not minor ones.
with regard to the unions stance I saw somewhere that the unions said schools should stay closed until it was 100% safe. No school is ever that, either from flu falling over in the classroom or being accidentally stabbed with a pencil. I believe that on top of their rightful concern for their members they are adding a political level of obstruction.
