During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools in England were only kept open to children of 'key workers' and, from 1 June, to children in reception, year 1 and year 6. Our cross-sectional survey of parents found low rates of attendance (<50%) in both groups. Many parents whose children attended school reported low adherence to hygiene measures (eg, not maintaining distance from others during school drop-off) and doubted that their school was adhering to COVID-19 guidelines. This must be improved if parents are to feel confident about a more comprehensive return to school, as planned for September.
在新冠疫情的早期阶段,英格兰的学校只为“关键岗位工作者”的子女开放,从6月1日起,也为学前班、一年级和六年级的学生开放。我们对家长的横断面调查发现,这两类学生的出勤率都很低(<50%)。许多送孩子上学的家长表示,学校在遵守卫生措施方面做得很差(例如,在送孩子上学时没有与他人保持距离),并怀疑学校是否遵守了新冠疫情防控指南。如果要让家长对9月计划的更全面返校有信心,这一情况必须得到改善。
