Offenbach (dpa / lhe) - The number of infections is too high: In the city and in the Offenbach district there will be no expansion of alternating classes in the coming week.
Classes continue to take place from home, the city reported on Tuesday about the administrative staff's decision.
The Offenbach district also refrains from giving pupils from grade 7 before Easter until Maundy Thursday, and offering attendance time on at least one day per week.
A stable infection situation is a prerequisite for the step from distance learning to alternating instruction.
In Offenbach, the so-called incidence is increasing and is currently 175.8 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the past seven days.
This does not allow the planned further opening of Offenbach schools, it said.
"So that it doesn't get even fuller in the schools, we don't want to take any risks by opening it further," said school department head Paul-Gerhard Weiss.
Health officer Sabine Groß spoke of a significant increase in infections in the younger age groups, especially among adolescents from 15 to 19 years of age.
"With our decision, we want to keep the good status quo in schools and not send any additional students to face-to-face classes for the time being."
