France implemented this measure on Monday:
Schools/daycares are open just for healthcare personnel's children.

It's very important for others to stay home, to avoid cross-contamination. Healthcare personnel and their families are at higher risk of exposure, but they have to go to work nonetheless, and cannot take care of their kids.

Restricting it solely to healthcare personnel is ridiculous.

What are firefighters, police officers, etc. supposed to do? [/quote]

Consider that most healthcare personnel do not have spouses that are also healthcare personnel, and also consider that most first responders also do not have spouses that are healthcare personnel or first responders. The other parent can care for the child in most circumstances. [/quote]

A huge number of doctors are married to other doctors and nurses. And a lot of firefighters and cops and military are married to nurses. I also know a lot of nurses who are single moms.

In normal times, it isn't too hard for a firefighter-nurse couple, for example, to stagger their schedules, but what happens now that they may be asked to work extra shifts? And it isn't hard in good times for a military spouse or single mom to find backup care, but now many of those backup options are off the table.[/quote]
