With COVID cases jumping from 10,000 early in the week to 30,000 mid week, the COVID Taskforce and NSW Health have advised we are in for some chronic community disruption which we are already seeing in our schools. Can we please look at our calendar of events and consider if they are absolutely necessary. It is a time to return to some sort of normalcy yet a time to hasten slowly. Some events can quickly become super spreaders. One of the comments I noted in this weeks COVID Update meeting was a reminder that all students are to wear a mask on buses – be it travelling on public transport or on a school organised excursion. Living with COVID is a constant agility manoeuvre. We are all doing our best to keep everyone safe – this is a time to keep it simple.
