How can boarding schools have pupils back in Sept?

[MarathonMo]

How is it going to be possible for boarding to continue in Sept? Thinking some schools have quite a few together in dorms etc...

I think it will either be deemed safe for schools to go back or it won't. All schools. Please God we will be on the home straight before September.

The ones with international students may have an issue.
Even if e.g. the students are asked to all self isolate for 2 weeks before return, as soon as someone pops on an aeroplane...

Seem to remember that during the SARS or the Swine Flu outbreak students were asked to self isolate for two weeks on arrival either with guardians or at local hotels - so I imagine this should be manageable provided there is a degree of herd immunity among the school community.

It’ll be interesting to see whether international students come back at all. If they don’t come back in the same numbers, many schools will have real financial issues.
