One mum says she would keep her children off school if it kept her family 'well and safe' from Covid.
She said if Covid cases rose much further she would reluctantly withdraw them from school, and happily face a fine, if it kept her family "well and safe".
Current Wales guidance means children remain home if they have Covid, or need to shield, but no longer have to stay off school if a parent or someone they live with tests positive for coronavirus. This is as long as they no Covid symptoms and have a negative test.
"I'm not willing to gamble our lives for 10 days of education at home. Things are going to come to a point where I'm going to have to put my family's health ahead of my son's education."Irene, from south east Wales, said restrictions should not be put back in place in schools, as children's lives needed to get back to some sense of normality after so much disruption.
