Schools without teachers, others where parents' representatives organize awareness campaigns in front of the establishment, in order to encourage families to have their children tested.
The alarming progression of the epidemic in the department affects many schools.
And it is at the origin of ubiquitous situations.
The children of the Maurice-Genevoix nursery school in Parmain, for some, continue to go to school but… not to class.
Since the start of the week, the entire teaching staff of the establishment as well as the Atsem have been placed in solitary confinement.
At least two cases of Covid-19 have been identified, all the others being contact cases.
It is therefore impossible for the establishment, which has 134 students, to continue to operate.
Parents asked to look after their children in Parmain

Incentive to screening
Not getting any satisfactory answer from the National Education, the representatives decided to inform the families themselves via an email and directly on site, this Friday morning, in order to encourage everyone to go for track down.
