Schools Close Throughout The World To Slow Coronavirus

Jewish schools from the United States to Russia have shut their doors and told their students to stay home as nations battle to slow the Coronavirus pandemic.

The administrators of ASHAR wrote that “Things are moving rapidly, and thus we are making the difficult decision to close ASHAR until after Pesach.”

Children are considered to be the most prolific carriers of viruses, and despite having little danger from Coronavirus themselves, can quickly spread the virus to family members and other children.

School closures have already been announced across the United States in almost every state, as well as in Canada and Russia.

Schools have turned to online teaching platforms as an alternative, with no clear idea when the closures will end.
