Are you worried about coronavirus?

Should be in this thread too, I guess:

In the Netherlands we had a press conference yesterday, where the head of the government research group on the virus claimed that the virus is (1) not very dangerous for children, (2) not very contagious in children and (3) the previous measures to close schools has not resulted in a relative reduction in the number of new cases of infection under children. In short, it seems that the research in my country shows that it is relatively safe to let children go to school, with the largest risk being the teachers (who are adults).

So what has been decided is that primary education will resume, first only 50% of the time, then later to 100%. Secondary education will have to wait a little longer, but will probably resume in June as long as everyone keeps their 1.5m distance.

Also sporting facilities will be open for children, for children under 12 they’re allowed to train as usual, but not to play competition (to prevent parents on the sidelines and unnecessary travel), and for children between 12 and 18 and professional sportsmen / -women; they are allowed to train as long as 1.5m distance can be kept.

For the rest of the country nothing changes yet, probably until around May 20 (at least).
