When Covid case numbers drop over the next few days - which they will, this isn't a drop in the number of cases. There is a severe lack of PCR and LFD testing available, so of course the numbers will come down if people can't test!

@TeacherToolkit @NickyGNickster I'd imagine that there are a fair few HT's who actually pay for it out of their own pocket as well. I'd also think that within CPD budgets, a lot would not necessarily have been spent on development, so using that money for wellbeing is a very good move.
