    Two countries, Japan and Hong Kong, have closed elementary, junior-high, and high schools until April to protect children from COVID-19. Parents are worried about the school closures because working parents must find childcare and many children do not have grandparents or others nearby to help. An angry mother questioned whether closing schools was effective if parents still had to commute on packed trains where the virus could spread.

    PARENTS ANGRY AS COVID 19 SHUTS SCHOOLS FOR A MONTH

    Japan and Hong Kong have closed their elementary, junior-high and high
    schools until April. Governments say they want to protect children from
    the COVID-19 coronavirus. Schools in Japan will remain closed until April
    the 8th, which is the start of the new school year. Children in Hong Kong
    will return to school on April the 20th at the earliest. Parents are now
    worried about the school closures. Working parents have to think about
    how to care for younger children. Grandparents will look after many
    children while their parents go to work. However, many children have no
    grandparents or extended family who live nearby. Parents may have to
    pay for expensive childcare fees.

    Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shut the country's schools after a
    meeting of Japan's anti-virus task force. He said the next two weeks are
    critical to control the spread of COVID-19. He wants to "stem the risk
    of many children and teachers becoming infected through gathering for
    long hours every day". The government said it would urge public services
    and private companies to make it easier for people to take time off work
    to look after their children. An angry mother said: "I wonder if the
    government thinks it is OK to leave children at home alone for long
    hours." She asked: "What's the point of closing schools if parents are
    still commuting in packed trains in which passengers may have COVID-
    19?"
