The current outbreak of COVID-19 has sparked an unprecedented health crisis worldwide. As of 16 March 2020, most countries across the European region have taken measures to restrict social interactions in an attempt to limit risks of exposure and contagion to the coronavirus. Many schools, universities, and other education institutions are required to close their doors or cancel lessons. The latest information on school closures in Europe and around the world can be found at the UNESCO webpage on schools closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
