[quote=Anonymous]I will agree to anything Belgium did.

When our state gets down to 20 new cases per million per day, reopen as Belgium did for a fraction of students and even then only 2 days per week.

What the state gets down to 8 new cases per million per day, reopen as normal.

Belgium:  Phase III started when cases were at about 20 new cases per million per day.   (Maryland is at 70)

[quote]Phase 3 — May 18
Classes at school will resume part-time and only for selected years, with a maximum of 10 pupils per classroom. All staff and kids older than 12 will be required to wear face masks. Children and staff should wash hands when entering school, when entering the class, after sneezing and after using a drinks or snacks distributor.

Education in Belgium is governed by the country's Flemish and Francophone language communities (both active in Brussels), which have significant discretion over how rules are applied. In true Belgian tradition, education networks (such as the Catholic or community networks) or individual schools have interpreted the rules differently when providing practical guidelines, making it even more complex for parents.

In Flanders, classes resume for the first, second and last (sixth) year of primary school and the last (sixth) year of secondary school. In the Francophone part of Belgium, only the last years of both primary and secondary schools will partially reopen May 18. The first and second year of primary school and the second year of secondary school may reopen May 25.

Kindergartens and nursery schools will stay closed, at least until the end of May.

Ever since the closing of the schools at the start of the lockdown, schools were obliged to offer daycare for kids whose parents work in a number of crucial professions. Although some schools have told parents that concerned only health care (or supermarket) workers, the official list is actually much broader, including (but not limited to) journalists and communication professionals, judges and lawyers, diplomats or staff of international institutions.

On May 18, daycare will be, in addition, accessible for children whose parents "don't have other options" to take care of their kids while they work. The problem is that if this very broad category is added to the kids who will resume their classes on the same date, it could become difficult for some schools (especially in big cities) to guarantee the strict social-distancing rules.
