*As the new government guidance published this week tells schools that pupils are now only advised to self-isolate for three days if they test positive for COVID-19, the Department for Education (DfE) has also ordered schools NOT to give out any more lateral flow tests but to dump them instead.*

*School staff, children and families are left defenceless against COVID-19, which the UK government knows damages vital organs, like the brain and heart, and causes Long COVID.*
