A total of 14,380 classes have shut down on Friday in France, in addition to 9,202 closed classes as of last week, following the spread of COVID-19, announced France’s National Education Ministry.
This total number includes classes that are closed due to Covid-19 cases, despite the removal of class closure’s rule in the case of recording three Covid-19 cases.
Additionally, some classes shut down due to the absence of teachers, representing 2.73% of the total 527,200 classes in the country.
Ahead of the Christmas holidays, only 2,970 classes were closed, then the number increased, following the new Omicron wave, which hit the country hard with daily cases records exceeding 300,000 cases in recent days.
As for COVID-19 infections in schools, 331,775 cases of Covid have been confirmed among students, and 25,571 among staff in total over the last seven days, added the Ministry, while infections have multiplied in schools since the start of the school year.
