Tens of thousands of students in virus cluster zones are home from school in France on Tuesday, with a smaller number in Germany and Poland facing quarantines or days without class. France’s education minister, Jean-Michel Blanquer, said around 120 schools have been ordered to close , most in Brittany and the Oise region north of Paris, which have been hit hard by COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. A handful of schools are closed or under quarantine in Germany and even in Poland, which has no confirmed cases of the disease so far.
