Early childhood teachers anxious after positive teacher case in Auckland

Early childhood student teachers say they are worried and anxious about their health and safety after one early childhood teacher tested positive for Covid-19 in Auckland, NZ Herald reports. Many are feeling their working environment is becoming even more risky than nurses because they have to do their jobs without masks or personal protective equipment. “Nurses can wear masks during their work, but in our work we can’t wear masks when we’re working, even though all the children are still not vaccinated,” Angelo Zhou, an early childhood student teacher, said.
