These closings, which occurred in Mayenne, in Finistère, in Cantal, in Haute-Garonne, in Indre-et-Loire, in Hérault or even in Nice, are "the illustration of the fact that we are strict, as we had announced it, "he explained, adding:" Almost every time there are cases that arise outside of school, as in the recent examples given in connection with slaughterhouses ".
It was "inevitable but it remains a minority," said the minister. "The fact that we close is the application of the strict health protocol," he insisted. Asked about the children who have not returned to school, Jean-Michel Blanquer said that "as regards primary school, it is around 70% of the pupils who continue to take distance courses". According to him, "the goal is that all children have resumed contact with school".
