Health experts are warning that schools without adequate Covid-19 safety measures could cause another outbreak of the virus.
In an editorial published in the New Zealand Medical Journal today, researchers say schools are high-risk settings for infectious diseases and teachers are particularly vulnerable.
In 2022, most school children caught Covid-19 and teachers had the highest infection rates among all occupational groups.
Professor Michael Baker was one of the authors.
