Press conference with Claude Meisch
The Minister of Education will hold a press conference at 11am to take stock of the Covid-19 situation in Luxembourg's schools.
Overview of most important points so far:
- Schools to reopen as of 22 February
- Pupils in secondary school will return to alternate A/B week schooling, with the exception of those in their first year of secondary.
- Primary school pupils will have to wear masks, even in classes, starting from Cycle 2. The same will apply to wraparound care (Maisons Relais).
Staff in schools, creches and so on will be invited to participate in large-scale testing over the coming days. Testing teams will also reinforce testing among pupils, particularly following infection chains.
- Psychological services say there's a 15% increase in young people with suicidal concerns
