Reopening schools

Sir,– Teachers and university staff in Rome and the Lazio region have been invited to register for Covid vaccinations. The rollout starts on Monday next for the under-55s! What a simple solution to reopening our schools and colleges. Italian schools have stayed open for under-16s by using frequent antigen tests and adherence to strict guidelines. Keeping our schools open was supposed to be a priority for us too. – Yours, etc,
