We need to stop the spread of coronavirus and avoid getting schools closed again. If a child shows a positive test this could affect the education and development of many children.

I think parents should be made to wear face masks when on school grounds, as there are often lots of parents gathering on school grounds to pick their children up. Making masks mandatory in these circumstances should reduce the risk of transmission.
