Coronavirus: Schools in China begin to reopen

Schools in China are gradually reopening with strict rules to try to keep the coronavirus under control.

Pupils returning to school in China now sit in smaller classes, have shorter lessons and must avoid public transport.

The reopening of schools has been staggered so that middle and high schools return first.

Nearly all areas of China have restarted some school classes, but bigger cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where there are more people in a smaller space, are taking a more cautious approach to avoid a second wave of infection.

Schools in cities with large populations are running classes with a maximum of 20 students to allow social distancing, finishing at 3.30pm every day. Parents are told to collect their children by car or to walk, to avoid busy transport like the subways.

Some schools are still making use of technology that helped during social distancing, using video calls so that teachers can instruct classes from a separate room.

These measures come as China says it has 'won the war' against the coronavirus. The number of new cases of people catching the disease is now down to double figures.

Globally, more than a billion children have had their education disrupted because of Covid-19.

BBC lackeys love the CCP. The broadcaster is an enemy of non communist people everywhere.
