And schools will be closed for the first time since they re-opened last May. The entire country joins the first 16 + 3 departments that were already in this semi-lockdown. The same rules continue with a limit of 10km for being out and about, with higher distance limits for accepted reasons (medical, work, etc). Telecommuting is still strongly encouraged.
What changes now is that all schools will be distance learning starting Monday, for a week. Then, instead of normal staggered 2-week spring breaks that happen in three zones over a period of four weeks, the entire country will have two weeks of spring break at the same time. Elementary schools will go back April 26th, and middle schools and high schools will stay in distance learning one more week and go back May 3rd.
Vaccination is going slowly due to supply issues in Europe, so it seems that mid-June is the earliest we can hope to be vaccinated.
The good news is that the local pool opened the outdoor pool this week, and swimming is allowed. So the boys are finally able to start swimming again. And with Benjamin at home for the next month, he'll be able to swim every day instead of being stuck in class until 5:30 pm every other week.
