The HSE's Health Protection Surveillance Centre has confirmed that all recommendations published in the public health advice by the Minister at the beginning of July including physical distancing guidelines as set out in the recently published roadmap still apply in all schools, with the exception of the recommendations on face coverings which has been updated to reflect the latest research and expertise. It is now recommended that teachers and secondary school students wear face coverings, similar to those worn in shops or on public transport, when a physical distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained." Recommended

Cost 19.99. It opens up and fits a phone, keys etc and takes 8 minutes to sanitise them. Would be a good thing to use at the end of the day before we go home...

rainbowtrout wrote: » I just worked it out as a curiosity. Say a teacher gets 2 hours off their timetable for this so their hours are covered by a sub for the year or someone gets them as part of their contract, so that's 66 hours for the year. On the qualified subbing rate and accrued holiday pay that's €51.24 an hour. Multiplied by 66 = €3381.84. The B post allowance is 3769. Difference is 388. Across approximately 725 secondary schools (don't know how the post thing works in primary), that's €281,300. Cheaper to pay a sub. Will cost less if the LWR is not a teacher.
