Operation demining on the front of the school. Three days of a call for the strike that resonates in all school circles, teachers to nurses, heads of establishment to inspectors, in the public and the private, the first as the second degree, the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, came to the plateau of the “20 hours” of France 2, Monday, January 10, announce a “simplification” – on three points – of the health screening protocol. The same protocol that concentrates, since the return of the Christmas holidays, the criticisms of the educational community and the parents exceeded.
First point, now, if a child is declared positive at COVID in a class, “we will not immediately ask parents to come and seek theirs on the grounds that it is a contact case,” said Mr. Castex . We will wait for the end of the day or school release. “
