Prince Charles warns virus may devastate students' futures Prince Charles has warned that up to 1 million young people in Britain may need “urgent help’’ to protect their futures from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemicLONDON -- Prince Charles has warned that up to 1 million young people in Britain may need “urgent help’’ to protect their futures from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, as politicians debated whether to keep British university students from returning home for Christmas. “There has never been a time as uniquely challenging as the present, when the pandemic has left perhaps another million young people needing urgent help to protect their futures,’’ he wrote in the Sunday Telegraph. Young people have been particularly hard hit by the pandemic, even though they are less likely to become seriously ill. Now many university students in Britain — who have just begun returning to campus after the summer holidays — are facing increased restrictions amid COVID-19 outbreaks in residence halls. Dominic Waddell, 21, a first-year filmmaking student, said some students weren’t even sent emails telling them about the new lockdown.
