Wearing her school uniform, Agda Baline Swarahati, a 4th grade student of Santo Antonius Elementary School from Padua, works on Physical, Sports, and Health (PJOK) subject during the year-end assessment, which is followed from her house in Nusa Loka, BSD City, South Tangerang, Banten, Tuesday (9/6/2020).

The implementation of health protocols outside schools and the rate of community cases also determine whether it is safe to reopen schools.
