The prospect of reopening schools from May 11 is debated. Interviewed by Le Progrès , Gérard Collomb, the mayor of Lyon was particularly skeptical. "It will be difficult, if not impossible," he says. The city has more than 200 nursery and elementary schools and 128 school restaurants.

"It will be necessary to study the priorities, establish the conditions and we await the clarifications of the government", he continues adding that this return can only be done in "the best possible security conditions". "Besides, the date of May 11 is only indicative! ", He says.

Monday evening, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, announced during his speech that nurseries, schools, colleges and high schools would reopen from that date.
