    there was a report that said that there was no record of children being infected in a school setting.  Children who were infected had been infected  through contact a home.
    In my grandson's school the children do not mix with any other than their own class bubble.
    Classes are kept separate, breaks are staggered .
     The school has separate play areas and classes use one area only to prevent mixing, lunches are taken at  their desks which are all separate in rows  as they used to be years ago. No tables in groups anymore. 
    I work with a lady who her & her husband has been working from home for a year & not going out. 
    Their daughter caught COVID in the nursery & brought it home to both of them.  It whipped right through the nursery.  
    I would imagine a nursery cannot implement social distancing as a school can. 
    It is a totally different environment wiith much younger children.
