[Vietnam] Introduction of lunchtime shifts at elementary schools as a measure against COVID-19
As a measure to prevent COVID-19 infection, schools in Ho Chi Minh City have introduced a shift system for lunch time in order to avoid three densities. In the past, all grades had lunch at the same time, but a new system has been introduced to reduce contact between children. Also, dismissal time and other activities are now staggered so that many children do not get together.
Lunch time starts at 5 to 10 minute intervals for each class. By staggering the start time, we can avoid congestion at the hand washing area before and after lunch. Dishes and trays are also managed so that the same ones are not used. Although it is a little difficult for the school to operate the current system, it has been well received as a way to protect the health of the children and teachers, and the parents are also relieved to know that the health of their children is taken into consideration.
