Kyle Brewerton: Auckland Primary Principals' Association President on the Government's new health guidance for children - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Some are saying the Government's updated health guidance for children is bringing back the balance from the pandemic. 

The guidelines say children with a mild cough, headache, or runny nose can go to school given they don't have Covid-19 or other symptoms like fever or diarrhoea. 

Auckland Primary Principals' Association's Kyle Brewerton told Mike Hosking that we've had four years of erring on the side of caution. 

He says it's part of a wider message to get kids back to school. 

Brewerton says we have a big attendance problem and it's a way of saying to get rid of any more issues.
