Paris mayor suggests testing teachers and pupils for coronavirus

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said she wanted to offer to conduct coronavirus tests in schools on a voluntary basis, Le Figaro reported. The measure currently applies to staff working in schools, but the mayor would like to extend it to children. I want to go further by offering it to parents who would like their children to pass the test. This mission will be entrusted to representatives of school medicine, said Anne Hidalgo. The idea is to stop any epidemic that will develop, explained the Mayor of Paris. According to the news agency, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke after attending a school in Poassi with Education Minister Jean-Michel Blancé.
