The new health protocol at the school will be generalized from December 6th. Class closures are avoided, in favor of tests conditioning the return to class.

The fifth wave of Covid-19 which is growing in France has resulted in a doubling of the number of classes of classes between the 19th and 26th of November. For now, the current (yellow) level 3 (yellow) pass solution (orange) of the health protocol has not been retained by national education. The transition to level 3 would have involved a return of courses in a distance to high school. On the other hand, these are the conditions of reception and closure of classes when detecting a positive case at CVIV-19 within an institution that have been relaxed in primary school.
Since April 26, the rule was as follows: As soon as a student had reached COVID-19, his class was closed for seven days. From now on, if a student is sick, his classmates can return to school if they provide proof of a negative PCR or antigenic test. In some cases, a test of all students can be achieved by a laboratory moving to carry out samples at school.

In the second degree (at the college and high school) no change in the contact tracing protocol (contact-tracing) has been announced. On the other hand, the minister proposes at the age of 12 at the college, which are not affected by vaccination, to benefit from two autototes per week.
A sharp increase in cases at elementary school for students twice as tested as the entire population
The fifth wave of Covid-19 particularly affects children, which can only be vaccinated in some cases below 12 years. If serious cases are less common in children, contaminations, they increase sharply in recent weeks.
On November 22, on average over seven days, the incidence rate among children aged 6 to 10 was 402 per 100,000 inhabitants (it was 166 the previous week). A rate almost twice as high as the national average – 213 per 100,000 inhabitants. In children in kindergarten (3-5 years old), this rate is 195 (against 89 the previous week).
To analyze this sharp increase in incidence, it should be noted that in these children, the screening rate has increased significantly in recent weeks. Thus, at the return of the last school holidays, at the beginning of November, 1,454 tests for 100,000 children from 6 to 10 years were practiced on November 8, twice as much as in the general population (2,842 per 100,000). Children’s screening has since soared, with 8,739 tests for 100,000 children from 6 to 10 years to 22 November, six times more than in September, but also twice as much as the whole of the population on the same date. The health protocol in effect so far and strengthened from December 6, of course, contributes to this massification of primary school students.
This rapid increase in contamination in the youngest logically explains the explosion of the number of closed classes in schools in recent weeks. Friday, November 26, according to the Ministry of National Education, 890 classes were closed in France. A figure at the highest since September 2021 and has doubled in the space of one week.
