Almost half of UK teachers, many of them triple-jabbed, have tested positive for Covid in the last term, according to a new survey.
Despite government insistence that it is “business as usual” in schools in England, 48% of teachers polled by the NASUWT teachers’ union said they had tested positive during the spring term.
In addition, nearly 30% said their school had been forced to close or send home either classes or year groups because of an outbreak of Covid.
