France has recorded 70 new COVID-19 cases in school after a week the government allowed to reopen the lower educational institution.

The government of France closes their school both the lower and higher educational institution since March 17, 2020 as part of their precautionary measure to contain the spread of the coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic.

As of writing on Wednesday, France recorded total cases of COVID-19 up to as many as 180,809 and death toll of 28,022.

After two (2) months of lockdown, the government of France started to lift restrictions and begun to reopen some establishments including shops and preschools and grade schools.

According to the report published by the France24, classes have been capped up from the 10 students in the classroom for preschool and 15 students for other group age.

Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer told the radio reporter on French radio station RTL that 70 new cases recorded since students came back to school. He said it is “inevitable.”

“It’s inevitable this sort of thing will happen,” he said. “In almost all cases, this [transmission] has happened outside of the school.”

Blanquer noted that the 70 cases were a small proportion of the 1.4 million schoolchildren who had returned.

The incident prompted to close affected schools to avoid worsen the situation.

However, in the Philippines, this is the reason that most of the parents are not willing to send their student at school for this school year opening in the since that there is still no available vaccine for the coronavirus.
