Schools have been closed in 146 countries around the world, according to UNESCO, affecting at least two-thirds of students globally. At Hoyonomori Gakuen, a school in Tokyo’s Shinagawa ward, the new rules, including temperature checks, are set down in a 28-point plan designed by the school to minimize risks. “I’m so glad I can take my classes together with everyone.”The silent lunchtime is a hard adjustment for Yukihisa Ishikawa, an 11-year-old boy. AD“I enjoy class, and between classes, although we have to keep our distance, I enjoy talking to my friends,” he said. At school, both kids said it was hard to remember to keep their distance from their friends all the time.
