Primary schools may close earlier due to omikron

Political reporter Ron Fresen:

“It is really being seriously considered at the moment. They have not yet decided because it is a drastic measure. But the OMT has been pointing out to the cabinet for some time that you should do this, and with all the reports about omikron, the cabinet can do it. don’t ignore this time.

The reasoning that you hear in cabinet circles is that intervention now prevents more children infected from entering the Christmas holidays and then passing the infection on to family during the holidays. But it remains difficult to explain, the current figures are going in the right direction, but omikron has not yet been incorporated.”
