New school year begins on Monday with special measures for Covid-19
Schools throughout Greece opened on Monday but in completely different conditions than other years, as the pandemic has necessitated changes and a long list of protection measures, starting with the use of face masks by all and the careful cleaning of hands, classrooms and equipment.
Both teachers and pupils must wear a mask at all times in all indoor areas of the school building, as well as outdoor spaces with high levels of crowding, on school buses and during the adjustment period in kindergartens.
If a pupil does not comply with the rules on the use of masks, he will not be allowed to enter the classroom, marked as absent and sent home.
Face masks will be provided and distributed to pupils and teachers by the state at schools on Monday, while junior school children will also be given their own water canteens.
