School lunch reopened Reduce tableware and refrain from conversation Tokyo Fussa June 2 15:46
After the temporary suspension of school due to the spread of the new coronavirus, elementary and junior high schools in Fussa City, Tokyo have resumed their school meals, but to reduce the risk of infection, provide meals on one plate and refrain from talking. We are thoroughly implementing measures.
In Fussa City, classes began at one of the 10 elementary and junior high schools in the city on the first day through decentralized school attendance, and the provision of lunch was resumed.
Of these, at Fussa Daisan Elementary School, on the 2nd, two children in a year entered the school and took their first lunch.
The 29 children per class are divided into two classrooms to keep distance.
To reduce the risk of infection, faculty and staff do all the catering and now only four dishes are used per person.
On the 2nd, tuna tomato spaghetti and almond salad were provided, and hand-washed children were receiving them in order at a distance.
Up until now, it was said that they used to eat in groups with their desks facing each other, but all the children who took off their masks faced in front of the classroom and quietly ate without talking.
The boy said, "The number of dishes was small but the amount was great. I really want to chat with everyone."
“I feel sorry to have to endure talking during the lunch time, which should be the most fun, but the children themselves are aware of it in order to reduce the risk. I want them to be able to return to their appearance."
