A teenager in Jersey has spoken of her fear that catching Covid-19 at school could lead to her infecting her vulnerable family and risking their lives.
It is one extreme example of the anxiety being triggered, for some, by the reopening of the island's schools.
Emily Bridge's parents and grandmother, who also lives in the family home, are all vulnerable.
I'm just worried cause of having vulnerable family. I don't want to wipe them out as Covid is here and it is a big thing. It's nothing to be joking about.
Emily Bridge
She is speaking out because she, and other students in a number of schools, have witnessed examples of pupils not heeding the hygiene, mask and distancing guidance.
Emily says it has triggered her anxiety.
