Alexander recounts, “I had my own issues. I had issues in my family. I lost my uncle during the pandemic. This book was like therapy to me because some of the themes in the story are hope, determination, adapting to change, kindness, and these were skills and qualities that I wanted my pupils to gain, but they were also qualities I had to remind myself that I was capable of tuning into during that very difficult time for myself and my family.” Sky News understands that experts who produce advice for ministers believe there are now "hundreds of thousands" of infections every day, many more than the number of official cases recorded on the daily dashboard. After the announcements yesterday, people rushed to the bus and launch terminals in the capital to leave for their hometown. Many people said the one-week restriction was likely to be extended later.

I also suspect that these rules are not just for Christmas but the rest of my life, for there will long be variants – and always a crisis, be it another disease or a flood, to justify the reactivation of controls that this pandemic has invited.

The chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty told MPs on the Health Select Committee this week that tighter controls could only be justified when there was evidence on the severity of Omicron disease. Mr Alexander is hoping the book will help children to learn how to manage their expectations which positively impacts their mental health.

Mr Alexander, a teacher at an inner-city South London school, said: “I didn’t have a book that I could use to walk my learners through the Covid-19 pandemic and the strange new world around us: masks, social distancing, homeschooling, vaccinations, bereavements etc. The evidence from South Africa suggests that patients who are admitted with Omicron are less likely to need oxygen and they stay in hospital for half as long as in the Delta wave.

He told The Daily Star yesterday that the success would depend on how effectively the measures were implemented. "In the past, we have seen such measures exist only on papers." Alexander also recalls the negative impacts of the pandemic he saw reflected in his students. He mentions higher levels of anxiety, gained weight, and countless hours online as the main factors that affected his students.

He said there are around 500 intensive care beds available across Campania, a region of 5.8 million people.The phase may also see families allowed to travel for short breaks around the UK, though with restrictions on household mixing. Fourth phase Alexander received praise for his book and the positive impact it had on school children in the United Kingdom.
