Coronavirus - Opposition calls on govt to withdraw decision on school reopening

Six opposition parties issued a joint statement calling on the government to withdraw a decision to reopen schools and kindergarten next Monday. The Democratic Coalition (DK), Jobbik, LMP, Momentum, the Socialists and Parbeszed said on Friday that the cabinet decision on reopening would threaten several hundred thousand children attending kindergarten and school, as well as parents and teachers during the third and most dangerous wave of the coronavirus epidemic. Reopening kindergartens and schools before teachers are fully protected will greatly increase the risk of the virus spreading and parents who have not been vaccinated yet will be in increased danger, the statement added.
