With schools re-opening, the NSW Government has mentioned a measure they’ll use to determine when a school is open or shut. It’s quite technical, which will no doubt stop many people paying attention to it. If the LGA has had fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 people in the previous 14 days, the school can be open. What they don’t tell you is that 50 is the cut-off to high risk of transmission in schools. Low risk is less than 5.
