Mr. Williamson said that relaxing restrictions and restoring “near normal” school education are welcome, but he warned that parents and children should not “go with the wind.”
He wrote in the “Daily Mail”: “Finally, we will once again see children free to chase football, sing in the choir or hang out with friends. I am very happy.
“After all, children and their parents have had to endure so much distractions in the past 18 months.

The consultant told the government to plan for this outcome, because it is not yet certain whether the high prevalence is the result of the spread of the virus in schools or communities.
In a document from the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Modeling Group (Spi-MO), experts stated that the introduction of the vaccine-currently only available to people 16 and older-will have “almost no impact” on many students.
