In the 19 departments concerned by the "
reinforced braking measures
", several parents were informed by SMS this weekend that their child's class could be closed as early as Monday if a case of Covid was declared from Saturday March 27, indicates France Bleu.

Taken aback, many parents expressed their dissatisfaction on social networks.
The SNES-FSU, the majority union of middle and high school teachers, called on Twitter not to respect these hasty class closings.
A new protocol reinforced but considered insufficient by the union which denounces "
an exercise of self-satisfaction and denial of reality on the basis of incomplete figures
" and calls for more radical measures to be taken.
In recent days, the school has been singled out by many epidemiologists and politicians denouncing a sharp increase in the incidence rate among 0-14 year olds.
Indeed, according to Public Health France, the incidence rate increased by 31% from March 15 to 21 compared to the previous week.
A situation that prompted Valérie Pécresse, president of the Île-de-France region, to ask to extend the Easter holidays, which would result in the closure of schools for four weeks.
