Children and young people appear to be the 'driver of transmission' regarding Coronavirus.
That's the admission from the Island's Director of Public Health - Dr Henrietta Ewart.
It was revealed 76 of the Island's current cases are school staff and children.
Howard Quayle says this is why government made the decision to close schools today.
He urged members of the public not to let children mix with children from other households wherever possible.
He described this as 'crucial' to prevent transmission and let us get out of this lockdown as soon as possible.
