The Outbreak Management Team estimates that the risk to public health associated with opening childcare, primary schools, out-of-school care and special education after the May holidays is manageable but not absent. There is no consensus within the OMT as to whether the primary school can open completely immediately or whether half classes should be started and the to allow children to take part in school education.

The Outbreak Management Team (OMT) recommends starting preparations for half-occupancy per day, until more data becomes available from Scandinavian countries where schools are now open or are opening. These restrictions do not apply to childcare and special primary education.

no secondary education

The OMT advises secondary education to prepare to start physical education only 1 month after the reopening of the primary schools and childcare, if no outbreaks have occurred in schools in the meantime and if the reproduction number is measured on the first day of illness. of patients admitted to hospital is around 1 or less at that time. The OMT advises secondary education to organize physical education in such a way that a 1,5 meter distance is guaranteed.

The OMT indicates that the risks of allowing exceptions to the prohibition of physical education in MBO, HBO and WO, for example for practical training and internships, should be further quantified after it is known how many people fall under such an exception.

The OMT estimates that allowing physical education other than those mentioned above currently poses a real risk of further, too wide or too rapid spread of the virus and recommends waiting for the effect of the proposed relaxation before regular physical education the other levels will resume.
