14,000 children have been deemed close contacts since schools reopened.
Children who're close contacts of Covid-19 cases in schools could soon be able to avoid self-isolating if they don't have symptoms.
The Irish Times reports that health officials are considering the move due to increased pressure on the country's testing system.
14,000 children have been deemed close contacts since schools reopened.
Currently kids are currently required to stay at home for at least 10 days if they come in contact with a confirmed case.
Professor Jack Lambert from the UCD School of Medicine says schools need a living with Covid strategy
