TOKYO: Most elementary and secondary schools in the Japanese capital of Tokyo started their fall semester Wednesday. In Shirokane-no-oka Elementary and Junior High School in central Tokyo, Vice Principal Rieko Watabe was welcoming students at the gate. During art and music classes, students take turns in groups to ensure distance in the classroom. The classroom is air-conditioned at ordinary times, while windows are opened for ventilation between classes and after school. The figure depressed some parents, who said that so many students attending classes together are prone to cluster infections.
