“So far, it can go”: This is the observation that came back from many schools, Monday, January 3, day of school year. With the will put forward by most teachers contacted to “keep remotely” the darkest epidemiological predictions – up to a third of them could be affected by CIVID-19, by the end of January. , according to the Scientific Council. Without really doing it: “Faced with a sanitary doctrine that fluctuates, we will handle day-to-day, but this fall is fragile”, testifies Hervé Lalle, director of a kindergarten in Paris. No doubt the “one of the most fragile” he had to orchestrate in two years of sanitary crisis and thirty years of career.
