Boris Johnson said in a briefing today, January 27, that the toll of the pandemic must also be measured in the “real risk of damage to the prospects of our young” people.
The Prime Minister told the Downing Street press conference: “When we look at the toll of this pandemic it must be measured not only in the tragic loss of life that we’ve endured, with over 100,000 deaths.
“But I’m afraid we must also remember not just the damage to the economy but the lost weeks and month of education and the real risk of damage to the prospects of our young people.
“So I share very much the frustration of pupils and teachers today who want nothing more than to get back to the classroom.”
