Covid-19: how will the start of the school year go?

After disrupting the end of the school year, the epidemic will seriously complicate the return to school on September 1.

The mask will be compulsory from 11 years old, therefore in middle and high school, including in the playground even if the precautionary distance of one meter can be respected. No question of hoping for a softening of the measures while the epidemic resumes (a little). In fact, the situation varies by region but there are no plans for the moment to open colleges and keep others closed. This would cause a serious inequality among college students who must all benefit from a quality education.

A little blur …

The fact remains that neither the government nor the scientists have completely sure answer. Official website Public health France thus explains that ” the impact of the closing / reopening of schools on the levels of transmission in the community is the subject of contradictory publications. “Public Health France adds that” The available data also indicates that closing childcare facilities and schools alone is unlikely to be an effective control measure to limit community transmission of COVID-19. Such closures are unlikely to increase the protection of children, with most developing a very mild form of COVID-19, or even no symptoms. Clearly, young people run little risk: they are much less affected than adults and especially the elderly. But, you know, they can infect other people even if they don’t show any signs of illness.

A little fever? You stay at home!

Schools, colleges and high schools will hammer home and enforce the famous barrier gestures :

  • wash your hands very regularly;
  • cough or sneeze into your elbow or into a tissue;
  • use a disposable tissue and throw it away;
  • greet without shaking hands, avoid hugs.

The principals and teachers are supposed to have developed an organization which limits groupings. The premises should be disinfected every day. Parents play an essential role, recalls the guide from the Ministry of National Education : they will have to look after their children in the event of fever or a sign evoking Covid-19 (in the child, at home or the rest of the family).
