The organization also recommends "Leave a tolerance to families who can and who wish to extend the school vacation period by 2 days". Or, not to put the children in school Thursday, December 17 and Friday, December 18, to let them confine themselves with their families.
An opinion followed by the office of the Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, according to AFP. A note will be sent this Tuesday, December 15 to rectors so that schools, colleges and high schools can organize themselves. Parents will have to notify schools before Thursday of their children's absence.
This self-containment is particularly necessary before seeing the grandparents and the elderly, recalls the scientific council. The French are also asked to "Limit family and friends meetings as much as possible" during these end of year celebrations. If you or your child is symptomatic, it is recommended that you get tested and isolated, even before receiving the results and despite Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve.
