LAST week, the National Union Of The Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general suggested that schools be closed only if the number of Covid-19 cases is high. However, more schools and institutions are being closed due to Covid-19.

So, are we going to wait until our cases reach a record high before schools are closed, by which time perhaps hundreds of pupils and teachers would be infected?
