I've Been Thinking:
Israel’s ministry of education announced that over 500 kindergartens have been closed because of COVID. It is the largest number yet.
The kindergartens have been closed either because the children have been exposed to COVID or because their teachers have contracted COVID. In an effort to protect the teachers and the students and their families, the kindergartens had to be shuttered.
Anat Dadon, director of pre-school unions in Israel is quoted saying: "Parents are sending their children [to kindergarten] knowing they may be exposed to a carrier of the virus."
"We have not seen so many kindergartens forced to close and staff and children made to quarantine since the start of the pandemic."
The simple fact is that, in Israel, for the next few months, there will continue to be rolling closures of schools as students and teacher continue to test for COVID and some of them come back with positive test results.
