Back to school on Monday the 7th

I was in a village today, and a tuk tuk with a loudspeaker went through the village telling students to go back to school on the 7th. Students were also told to wash their hands, and bring food and drinks from home. There will be no food or drinks available at school.

Another student in another village had been told the same thing.

For those who don't know, most schools have stalls where people sell food and drinks, often in the school grounds, but sometimes nearby. These will not be open. So students must bring food and drinks from home.

What I expect to happen in reality is, students will walk a little further, and go to a shop to buy food and drinks, in schools where there is a shop near by.

This is true for all government (public) schools but not for private schools. They still seem to be opening on a case-by-case basis. I think we can all work out why.

Actually its not quite true. Children will only attend school 2 days a week. My friend's children will attend on Tuesdays and Fridays so will not attend on the 7th. Yes food will not be available at school and at our local school they are going to force the children to wear masks which is ridiculous. Our local private school (Florida) will not be opening and they have no idea when they might open.
