SIR – What threat to society does a child with asymptomatic Covid pose when everyone deemed vulnerable has had two vaccines and most other people have had at least one?
We were told that children’s education was a priority. The overzealous enforcement of self-isolation (report, June 29) suggests otherwise.

SIR – On Monday evening we learnt that a pupil in Year One had tested positive for Covid-19.
The child is a member of a bubble of 35 pupils, all of whom are now required to self-isolate for 10 days. The disruption to children, their parents and teachers is significant, and out of proportion to the risk.
