Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Covid-19: South Korea closes Seoul schools amid rise in cases
No success stories to deal with coronavirus. In America, partygoers, beachgoers,
and restaurant diners increased the transmission where such outings are allowed.
New Zealand extended lockdown in Auckland, at the center of the new outbreak,
after 100 days without any community transmission. Even South Korea, which had
been regarded as one of the better-handlers of coronavirus, recently saw a
spike of infections among school students. They now have closed most of the
schools in the greater Seoul, where about half of the nation’s population
lives.
In the northern hemisphere, summer vacations are about to end at most schools.
Municipal offices, education boards, teachers, and parents are preparing for
back-to-school season with fear and hope. One thing is quite certain, though.
It’s not over yet.
Read the article and think about how many days students can go to school this school year.
