It was yes, which made it even more of a no-brainer of a decision as it minimised impact on wider economy.

I genuinely think they need to look at the structure of the school year temporarily. Pierre is right that restrictions without factoring schools into it at all is ineffective. Not suggesting they close for month, but factoring in 2-3 weeks off every 8 weeks or so would do much to break transmission chains.
