French headteacher Laurence Coureul has spent the COVID-19 pandemic working long hours trying to keep her school running despite pupils and staff getting the virus, but with cases now rising again, she feels she’s reaching her limit.

“The teams are getting exhausted,” she said of her staff at the Joan of Arc junior school in Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, a southern suburb of Paris, where this week another two classes were ordered home because some pupils were infected.

The government of French President Emmanuel Macron has made it a point of pride that - unlike many other countries - France has not closed its schools through most of the pandemic. But Macron’s policy is being severely tested. The number of positive cases among people under 18 was up 28% week-on-week, according to official data released on March 25.

Staff at the Eugene Delacroix High School in Drancy, on the northern edge of Paris, have asked for the school to be closed.
