Mainz (dpa / lrs) - In six cities in Rhineland-Palatinate and two districts, schools have to close from Monday due to the federal emergency brake.
All schools in Speyer, Frankenthal, Ludwigshafen, Mainz, Worms and Pirmasens as well as in the districts of Mayen-Koblenz and Donnersberg would have to switch back to distance learning, said the spokeswoman for the supervisory and service directorate (ADD), Eveline Dziendziol, on Friday the Germans Press agency in Mainz.
The schools in the Neuwied district and in Koblenz are already in distance learning by municipal order.
Stricter regulations than those provided by the federal emergency brake are possible.
The secondary schools in Mainz are also already closed.
The schools handled it routinely after a 13-month pandemic.
Like schools, daycare centers have to close at an incidence of 165.
So you are also affected.
There is again - as during the first lockdown in the pandemic - emergency care.
This is offered in the daycare centers and schools to everyone who cannot look after their children themselves or have them looked after, as well as for those children for whom it is particularly important to come to daycare or school.

At all schools that do not have to switch to distance learning, the alternating instruction will continue until the Whitsun holidays (May 25th to June 2nd).
Also new from Monday is the compulsory test for students and teachers in classroom lessons - twice a week.
So far it was voluntary.
Basically, these should be self-tests in schools.
A negative test from a test center or from a doctor who is not older than 24 hours is also possible.
Tests at home would only be recognized if the school community decided that for the whole school.
If students did not want to be tested, they would be offered a scaled-down distance learning offer.
There is no compulsory test before exams.
There are also none for daycare children.
