In the event of a positive case within a class, it will be closed after an epidemiological investigation by the health authorities.

• In kindergarten, as soon as a positive case is revealed among the students (due to not wearing a mask)
• From the elementary level, the closing of the class can be pronounced from 3 people tested positive in the same class, in the event of suspicion of contamination in school environment.

For people considered to be low-risk contact cases (not placed in eviction), PCR tests will continue to be performed in schools.

For people considered to be high-risk contact cases (eg breaking the wearing of a mask during lunch), they will be evicted whether or not they are vaccinated.

In application of the ministerial decisions in force, the main health measures implemented in schools are:

• Hand washing and disinfection, several times a day
• The provision of hydro-alcoholic gel
• Wearing a mask is compulsory for all staff and students from CP
• Limiting student mixing
• Respect for distance
• Reinforced disinfection and ventilation of the premises

These measures have demonstrated their effectiveness throughout the past school year: schools have welcomed all students face-to-face and no school closures linked to COVID-19 have been declared.

In view of the current situation, the Prince's Government does not wish to implement vaccination campaigns in schools at the start of the school year.

However, the Government strongly encourages vaccination.

• Schoolchildren over 12, Monegasques or residents, can therefore receive the vaccine at the national vaccination center. The agreement of legal officials is essential.
• Teaching and non-teaching staff have the option of getting vaccinated at the national vaccination center, whether or not the person is a resident.

You can contact the national vaccination center on 92 05 55 00.
