Workplaces are the main coronavirus infection teams in France and corporations deserve to have staff running from home as much as you can imagine after the August holiday, said one of France’s most sensitive coronavirus experts.

“What other people do in their own homes is more complicated for any coercive action, so more than ever, it’s based on common sense and judgment of all of us.”

180 and inflamed academics since July in Indonesia
Indonesia’s move to reopen schools in some areas risks creating new clusters of coronavirus cases, with at least 180 students and teachers infected since a new academic year started in July, a teachers’ federation said on Thursday.
The fourth most populous country in the world has a legal reopening with limited capacity in the “yellow” and “green” areas, with fewer reported cases and covering 43% of the student population, according to government data.
Parents would probably not send their children to schools in those spaces and extracurricular activities are not allowed.
Heru Purnomo, general secretary of the Indonesian Federation of Teachers’ Associations, said distance education was preferable.
“We have raised our considerations that schools can become new groups,” Purnomo said. “Remote learning, whether online or offline, is safer than face-to-face learning.”
Wiku Adisasmito, a spokesman for Indonesia’s Covid-19 group of runners, told reporters Thursday that new groups would emerge in schools if all fitness protocols were followed.
