In Austria, the school closes by the end of the semester and the lockdown is expected to increase until February 21.
According to details, Education Minister Heinz Famen and Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz are in a bitter struggle until the federal government announces on Wednesday that the schools will open on January 18. But conditions are not conducive to opening a school.
But now there are more chances of the school being closed until the end of the semester. Although the education minister announced on Saturday that the school should be opened as safely as possible through weekly nose tests, the signs now point to an expansion in home schooling. And this is despite the fact that the number of new infections is stable every day. On Tuesday, 1575 new positive results were found.
A new expert study also highlights the growing frustration and pressure among students in distance learning. Local media now cite government circles as saying that the rapid spread of the Corona mutation B117 poses a threat to the Prime Minister. Has been put in bell mode. The media also confirmed on Tuesday that even the FFP2 mask did not have significant protection against it in the UK. The virus spread rapidly among children in the classroom.
The prime minister denied that the decision had been made, saying it would be announced on Wednesday. There is still a lot of consultation going on behind the scenes with experts. We don't want to take any risks and will close schools - maybe by February 21 when the semester break in Upper Austria and Lower Austria ends. The Ministry of Education also told the media that everything will be clear by the middle of the week.
