The Minister of Education said that infections within schools were considered stable, despite a recent increase in new infections. The figures in question relate to both pupils and staff.
So far, no school has been made to switch to distance education in the afternoon, while no reception structures have closed. Authorities also noted the limited effect of home learning on infections in the week leading up to the Carnival half-term holiday - a conclusion supported by the Covid-19 taskforce.
However, the situation could be adapted at any given moment. Meisch reiterated that his statement relates to current circumstances only. The Ministry of Education changed its tactics at the last minute before the February half-term, after a number of variant cases of the virus were detected within the school community.
