Brussels (Belgium), 17 May, EFE, (Camera: Leo Rodríguez).- Schools in Belgium are preparing to restart classes on Monday, although not all students will return at once due to the strict measures proposed by the National Security Council to prevent minors from being infected by COVID-19. At the Sacred Heart School in Ganshoren, Brussels, only the second and sixth grade students will return to school, as well as the sixth grade students, who will be divided into groups of 8 children per classroom and will have to keep a safe distance both in class and at recess.FOOTAGE OF SCHOOLS IN BRUSSELS, SOUNDBITE OF JEAN-MARC ZOCASTELLO. TRANSLATIONS:"It will be mandatory to wear a mask, a social distance of at least 1.5 m must be maintained and hands must be washed frequently with hydroalcoholic gel"."We have redistributed all the furniture so that there are a maximum of 8 students per class and that the teacher can maintain sufficient social distance from the students"."It's as if we've reorganized a return to school in September. It's been a lot of work. It wasn't for all the students because that would be impossible. The only positive aspect is the new social contact between the students and the teachers, even if it is by maintaining a certain distance"."It is very difficult to follow classes online and the situation changes a lot from one family to another."
