That's how they're planning to open five major European schools.

In some countries, such as the U.S.A., the estimate is complicated by the fact that COVID-19 transmission remains widespread in communities.

In Europe, where infection levels are now much lower, although not yet completely under control, the flat curve has allowed schools to reopen more freely in recent months.

This is how European countries are planning to open schools:

Germany

Some German schools reopen in part in the spring, but only now, after the summer break, schools are fully reopening across the country. According to Germany's federal system, each state has its own time for summer break, and the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ? which has had the lowest rates of Germany's infection last week became the first to fully reopen its schools. Berlin, Brandenburg, Schleseg-Holstein and North Rhino-Westpholia are following suit this week.

The early experience of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was not particularly angry. At the end of that first week, two schools were to be closed because of infections - teachers at one school, one student in another. There's a big debate about whether children should wear masks at school. In Schleseg-Holstein, doing so is not mandatory. Berlin and Brandenburg are, although only in corridors, cantons and stairs. In North Rhino-Istepholia, masks will be mandatory in class, but only until the end of August. Germany's federal education minister, Anja Karlizzek, would simply prefer all to wear masks in school buildings.

Sweden

Swedish schools never closed, nor did they substantially change their rules. This provided an opportunity to collect data on how COVID-19 can spread to schools under such circumstances, but such data was never collected.

Anders Tegnell, Sweden's best virologist, claims that the decision to keep Swedish schools open and daily care centers did not matter on the levels of infection. He has also warned that opening schools only to close them again, due to the resurfaces of infections, would be “devastating” for confidence in public authorities.

Great Britain

Schools in Great Britain are set to reopen on Tuesday, with authorities noting that only 0.8% of Scottish cases have included people under the age of 15. Schools are encouraged to fan rooms as much as possible, and to quarantine the library's returned books for three days. Social distance is not necessary for children in primary schools, but older children can be discouraged by physical contact.

Many Wales schools were reopened at the end of June, making smaller classes and impressing them, so only a third (most) of students are present at all times. All schools must be fully opened at the beginning or in mid - September. First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford, however, has warned that local fires could lead to closing schools.

As for England and Northern Ireland, Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants schools to open completely in September. In June, his government launched a school opening, but had to change its mind due to lack of staff and spatial implications of the effort to organise smaller classes.

A study published last week in The Lancet predicted that reopening schools in September would have to be accompanied by widespread coronary testing, quarantine and measures for tracking contact otherwise a second wave would probably appear, reaching a peak in December.

Italy

Italy was unusual in keeping all schools closed after closing its original deadlock, although it was badly hit by pandemic at first. Now, he plans to reopen schools on September 14th.

The classrooms will have to be smaller to allow social distance... 50,000 temporary teaching staff will be brought aboard to make this possible, with federal funding, and some school districts are literally sawboards away, so children won't have to be very close to each other.

Students and teachers will have to wear masks (and that will have to wear facial shields). There will also be a great push to keep lessons out, where possible, or to take lessons in theatres and museums.

France

France began reopening schools in May on voluntary grounds. Dozens of school-related infections emerged quickly, leading to many urgent school closures, but the government said the length of incubation enabled infections to occur before schools open their doors.

After weeks of gradual reopening, the return to French schools began zealously at the end of June, after President Emmanuel Macro said it was mandatory “”. There were no social distance rules for kindergarten children, a one-foot rule for elementary schools and a mask warrant for older children in cases where social distance was not possible.

However, this compulsory schooling lasted only a few weeks, as summer school vacations in France began in early July. This means that September will be the time to assess how things are going.
