“Teachers want to be assured they will be safe and will not be taking a highly-contagious variant back to their families,” Ms Byrne said.
The union has reiterated its call for teachers to be given priority access to vaccines.
The Australian Medical Association’s WA branch has called for schools to be open only for families of essential workers due to the virulence of the Delta strain, if another case is detected.
The State School Teachers Union is also worried, saying on its website that research has shown that the new strains of COVID are prevalent among children.
President Pat Byrne said teachers were stressed and confused by the latest Perth and Peel lockdown.
