There is an educational institution in the capital that slips the school starting time to 8.30 instead of 8 a.m. By doing so, they want to prevent students from travelling on crowded public transportation vehicles during the morning rush hour and possibly getting infected as a result.
According to the guidelines defined by authorities, classes should be separated as much as possible. Thus, during the breaks, the common yard can be used by the classes alternately or, if the size of the yard allows, it should be divided into designated parts.
Separation introduced for safety is also needed during lunch. Students can reasonably visit school canteens in several shifts, divided into time intervals, which is likely to prolong lunch time so afternoon sessions will begin later..
It is not mandatory, nor would it be viable in each class, to place students at a distance of one and a half meters from each other, and making them wear a protective mask does not seem to be a requirement for the time being. However, the presence and use of a hand sanitizer will be essential.
