The Minister of Education will hold a press conference at 11am to take stock of the Covid-19 situation in Luxembourg's schools.

Overview of most important points so far:

  • Schools to reopen as of 22 February

  • Pupils in secondary school will return to alternate A/B week schooling, with the exception of those in their first year of secondary.

  • Primary school pupils will have to wear masks, even in classes, starting from Cycle 2. The same will apply to wraparound care (Maisons Relais).

  • Staff in schools, creches and so on will be invited to participate in large-scale testing over the coming days. Testing teams will also reinforce testing among pupils, particularly following infection chains.

  • Psychological services say there's a 15% increase in young people with suicidal concerns
