Kerameos: The three data that support the opening of schools
The Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, pointed out the three data that support the reopening of schools for life, speaking to “Kathimerini”.

Secondly, when the schools are operating for life, students are systematically tested, while thirdly, a special protocol of strict controls applies when there is a case in the classroom.
“It is better for children to come to school and have checks done within the school context than the opposite,” observes Ms. Kerameos.
