Lets us discuss there researchers on whether the world is ready to open schools with Covid-19 pandemic becoming endemic. Is it good to open schools now?
I think it is still not becoming endemic. Researchers are still working really hard to come up with a cure or vaccine.
However, this is so sensitive subject especially opening the schools because you can not control the students wherever if you will do.
Do we need to remain wearing masks till the summer of 2021? Till now they could not control Covid-19, so how can you control it with opening the schools and living with it as an endemic????
Yes, with the spread is being controlled and effective treatments made available.
Just like the Spanish Flue in 1918, we expect other two waves of the pandemic. Do we open now or it is too soon?
Some countries are beginning to discover effective cure for those infected and if more and more people are being cured the spread can be curtailed without a second wave.
Some schools are opened with conditions of taking all the preventive measures, such as using face mask, social distancing, and washing of hands with soap and water, etc. to check the spread of novel Coronavirus.
Opening schools without a plan will expose kids to the virus given that some are too young to understand the concept of using face mask, social distancing, and washing of hands .

Even if the schools are open most of the parents are not willing to send their children.
It is not the time to open their schools in most of the countries. Online classes are a very good alternative.
