I want to discuss where many people are at this point. There is a belief that the restrictions may change in September. As Dr. De Gascun said earlier, we get more knowledge on the virus as time progresses. Will we have social distancing in our classrooms in December, January and February next year? Will that mean only eight children in the classrooms that used to have 24, 25 or 26 children? What does that mean for the education of our young people?
