Q: Wouldn’t it be better to focus on vaccinating teachers and support staff, instead of putting all this effort into testing?
Williamson says testing will continue to remain a really important part of supporting education. The vaccines will not cover under-18s until they have been trialled on that age group.
Q: Are you going to keep nurseries open?
Williamson says there is no intention to close them, and the government has not had advice saying they should close.
