JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The decision to allow schools in Covid-19 yellow zones to reopen and hold in-person classes will potentially increase the risk of Covid-19 spread among children. Data shows that Covid-19 infection and fatality rates among children in Indonesia are higher than in other countries due to poor health conditions.

After reopening schools in Covid-19 green zones, the government on Friday (7/8/2020) allowed schools to hold in-person classes in Covid-19 yellow zones. The national Covid-19 mitigation task force’s latest risk map designates 94 regencies and cities nationwide as green zones and 182 other regencies and cities as yellow zones. This means 53.67 percent of schools nationwide will hold in-person classes.
