The continuing mayhem at Manchester Airport is an example of the damage the re-emergence of Covid is doing to our working age population, Wigan’s director of public health has said.

Professor Kate Ardern addressed the Health and Social Care Scrutiny Committee at Wigan Town Hall with concern as she delivered her latest update on Covid and revealed a sub-variant of Omicron was now hitting hard and spreading fast.

The sub-variant is causing fatigue which is lasting for 5-10 days, it has been reported. One of the age groups most affected is the working age people - and she used the current staffing issues at Manchester Airport as a key example of how Covid absences are causing an impact on day to day life.

The Airport has been besieged by issues in recent days caused by staff shortages and the relaxation of travel restrictions. “Covid-19 is rapidly rising across the North West,” Prof Kate Ardern said. “We [Wigan] are not the highest in the North West, that is Cumbria and Lancashire.

Families frustrated by New Jersey school district abruptly relocating teachers, staff
CHERRY HILL, N.J. - Families in the Cherry Hill School District have grown frustrated that teachers have been abruptly relocated to other schools without explanation. Students and parents packed into a Cherry Hill School Board meeting Tuesday night to demand answers following the sudden transfer of their beloved teachers to other district schools. "Since we have gotten no reason, I think it’s punitive. I think it’s personal," one student said. District sources say nine teachers were moved out of Cherry Hill High School East and a handful of others moved from Cherry Hill High School West. Several staff changes were also made in three district middle schools."I feel like just switching around for the sake of switching around teachers, they don’t realize how much it effects our family in the history department, the family of teachers and all the established relationships with the students," a student said. Cherry Hill School District Superintendent Joseph Moloch said some level of teacher reassignments happen every year, but he admitted that more are taking place this time around. School officials would not talk about specific teachers, citing personnel issues and privacy, but said they don't make the moves lightly. Advertisement"We take a look at each one of the teachers and where can his or her talents make the most impact or make continued impact," Moloch said.
