There has been no significant increase in coronavirus infections after schools in 22 EU countries were reopened, EU education ministers heard at a video conference on Monday.

After the meeting of ministers, Blaženka Divjak, Croatia’s minister, told reporters in Brussels most of the schools had only been open for a fortnight.

“We are at the beginning of reopening of the education system in Europe,” she said, “in our discussion today, we have examined various related organisational and safety aspects.”
