In all the other countries, where this Monday the school starts, can be removed the mask is in place. Schleswig-Holstein does not recommend the mask to wear in the school building, but not for the instruction, a mask of duty there is. Brandenburg will likely decide this Tuesday, a mask is mandatory in school buildings. The Berlin school Board has provided the schools with a “start-up Reserve” of almost 300,000 in the mouth, nose and coverings, to secure the obligation of the mouth, nose and coverage in the school buildings.
In a communication to the Senate, it says: “This is compulsory in Berlin, in school buildings, outside of the classroom as well as outside of the extracurricular and complementary education and care (after-school care area)”. No country concludes that it is imposed in the event of rising infection, the Mask also pay for the education requirement. For students and teachers this is a burden, but a teaching with a mask is likely to be the most better than no lessons. Visors are less stressful, but also less.

Also in the other countries, you break the head how to deal with students is the in a Huff in school, without lapsing into hysteria, or false carelessness. It may be useful in such cases, at the level of plans, such as those in Bavaria, Saxony, and since Friday is also in Schleswig-Holstein, and of pediatricians and pediatric infectious disease specialists is recommended. They depend on the number of Infected per 100,000 inhabitants, and give schools clear instructions with ever stricter measures of prevention.
