Current as of June 17 th 3. Most countries are maintaining their previous case-count trends after school re-opening For many countries that have reopened schools, there has not been a significant resurgence in cases and trend pre- reopening has mirrored trend post- reopening. However, there have been a few notable exceptions such as Madagascar, South Korea, and Israel. It is difficult to isolate the effects of school reopening and there may be other confounding variables on a local level. Further, more time is needed to fully assess these effects given time and reporting lags in the data.

Current as of June 20 th 4: As Israel reopened schools, there were challenges with policy changes and limited comms Description of Israel’s reopening Dimension Guideline Education department released macro level guidance (mandatory masks, 15 students per class) strategy and Underlying it all is that timeline Re-opening was rushed (days notice), began with younger grades, but quickly expanded there was no policy – Guidelines were changed frequently, with no time to adjust or implement (e.g. masks the government wanted mandatory in class, masks only mandatory in hallway, masks not mandatory) the economy to go back No support or guidelines were given on how to adjust physical infrastructure or staffing needs. Capacity and to work so they just Schools were left to seek out extra classrooms or decide independently to shift to staggered resources opened schools at a school schedule to accommodate two-day notice and let Large schools found it harder to maintain majority of distancing guidelines us figure it out Responsibility Government guidelines felt difficult to enforce; each principal determined rules for their school and Principal of small size Students admitted to school with slip from parents confirming temperature, symptom, and enforcement exposure check completed at home, removing responsibility from schools secondary school Mandatory education law not enforced in scenario where parents chose not send children to school, and were not provided with alternative options Additional Extreme heat led to country-wide relaxation for limited period of mask requirement; schools then faced difficulty re-enforcing these policies factors Social guidelines contradicted school guidelines, e.g. public buses with 50 people, large social events allowed Source: Expert interviews, press search 11
