A mum whose three children contracted scarlet fever has called on councils to consider closing schools early for Christmas in a bid to stop the spread. Joanne Jones thinks it is ironic that schools are not being closed now when they shut for Covid.
But councils have said there there are no plans to shut early. The mum from Llandudno spoke out after her three children, Jasmine, eight, Louie, six, and Ophelia, three, all had the illness in the last week which led to her taking Jasmine to hospital.
