Nearly 300,000 primary school pupils in Denmark have returned to their classes after five weeks at home, a first step in relaxing the Nordic country's strict virus curb measures.
This particular start of the new school year however comes with some sanitary caveats, such as no mixing of different classes to limit transmission.
Meals must be eaten in the classroom, but masks are not compulsory for students and teachers.
“Older students will be able to return to school when we have complete control of the epidemic,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said during a visit to a school, without giving any details about the potential timetable, according to AFP.
