ATHENS: Greece on Friday postponed plans to reopen all high schools next month following a fresh rise in Covid-19 infections, saying schools in critical red zones would continue with distance learning.
Athens said last week it would let high schools reopen on February 1 for the first time in more than two months as pressure on its public health system had eased in the last few weeks. High schools in red zones will continue to teach lessons from distance, deputy education minister Zeta Makri said in an interview with state TV ERT.
