A teacher helps a student in class on the first day back in school after 4 weeks of corona lock-down, April 17th 2020, Denmark. All schools and much of Denmark including it's borders were shut Monday March 16th by the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to prevent the corona virus from spreading beyond control. All school children had to stay at home if possible during the lock-down and many had not seen their friends through-out the 4 weeks it lasted. All teaching was done at home and via online services such as Google Meet and to many time was difficult to pass. Only year 0-5 are now allowed back in school and only under special measures. Classes are split in twos and across two rooms, everyone must wash hands rigorously when they leave and enter the class and the children must observe distance when possible. The children are put together in groups of no more than three and they are the only ones they get to work and play with. Break time has to be in designated areas only and only with class mates.
