21 September 2020 More flexible rules in France, starting tomorrow, in elementary and nursery schools, where all classes will be able to continue their normal activity even if a pupil has tested positive for the swab.

The person concerned will stay at home and his classmates will continue school activities pending his return.

The closure of a class can only be decided starting from 3 positive cases.

Until now, all those who had been in contact with a 'positive' could only return to class if there was a negative swab made 7 days after the last contact with the confirmed case.

The government explained that the new rule is based on an opinion from the High Health Council according to which "children are at low risk of serious and not very active forms of transmission" of Covid-19. 

Yesterday in France, 10,596 new positive cases were recorded, but on Sunday the figures are lower and lower due to the closure of the analysis laboratories.

There were 41 new hospital admissions in the last 24 hours, while no new admissions were reported in resuscitation.

In addition, 12 more deaths than the previous day were reported, for a total of 31,585.

In the last 24 hours, 922 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in Germany, although the figures for the weekend are generally lower because not all municipalities report their data for national statistics .

These are the numbers provided by the Robert Koch Institute, one of the main epidemiological centers in Germany, which warned of a "new increase in infections" after the 2,297 cases announced on Saturday, the highest since April, and 1,345 yesterday.

In total, Germany has 272,337 coronavirus cases - out of a total population of 83.2 million people -, of which around 242,200 have already recovered.

The death toll is at 9,386

In Russia in the last 24 hours, 6,196 new cases of coronavirus have been recorded, for a total of 1,109,595 infections.

The National Center for the fight against the virus reports this.

The dead were instead 71 (19,489 in total).

The healed are 2,616 (911,973 in total).
