School closures due to Corona: 165 facilities nationwide affected

IIn Germany, at least 165 schools are currently completely closed to protect against infection. This was the result of a survey conducted by WELT AM SONNTAG among the 16 ministries of education of the federal states. The number is highest in Bavaria at 135.

Schools and kindergartens are generally excluded from the partial closure, which will take effect from November. Thus, politicians took into account the experiences of the first confinement in spring.

Currently, six schools are affected in Hessen

At that time, these institutions were also affected by the closure to guard against further deterioration in the number of corona infections. If individual cases arise on the premises, a decision is made on how to treat them.

In Hesse, therefore, there are currently no face-to-face classes in six schools; there are four in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and two in Schleswig-Holstein.

Baden-Württemberg had 15 schools closed on the last deadline before the fall break. Each school is closed in Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony and Brandenburg.

Currently, no schools are completely out of service in various Länder, namely in Saxony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Thuringia, Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen.

As in other countries, there are also sometimes many students and groups of classes in quarantine.
