Magdeburg / Halle (dpa) - The almost 200,000 students return on Tuesday from the week-long Easter break.

In Halle, however, as many classrooms as possible should remain closed: From grade 7 onwards, children and adolescents are taught distance lessons due to the high number of infections.

Emergency care is offered in grades 1-6 and at special needs schools.

Graduating classes should also be able to meet to prepare for exams.

Halle is one of the districts in Saxony-Anhalt most affected by Corona.

In the Burgenlandkreis, the district with the highest incidence in the country for weeks, the schools remain open as part of a pilot project.

The experiment includes, for example, close-knit tests.

Starting this week, free quick tests will also be available nationwide in schools in the other 13 rural districts and cities.

From next week, schoolchildren and teachers will only be allowed to enter the school premises if they have been tested for the corona virus twice a week.
