Dr Hilary Jones has looked to becalm parents ahead of children returning to schools by outlining the differences between Covid-19 and contracting a school 'bug'.
There have been concerns that a reopening of schools to all children after nearly six months could bring about a sharp rise in cases of coronavirus, especially as it is on the rise again in numerous places across the UK.
The government may have performed a dramatic u-turn on their policy of children wearing masks in the classroom, indicating that those living in areas that are experiencing a local lockdown, will now have to wear them.
For the rest of the country, there is a worry that there will be more cases of Covid-19 despite being told that there is nothing to worry about.
