Paragraph 1
Japan and Hong Kong have closed their
, junior-high and
schools until April. Governments say they want to protect
from the COVID-19 coronavirus. Schools in Japan will remain closed until April the 8th, which is the
of the new school year. Children in Hong Kong will return to school on April the 20th at the earliest. Parents are now
about the school
. Working parents have to think about how to care for
children. Grandparents will look after many children while their parents go to
. However, many children have no grandparents or
family who live nearby. Parents may have to pay for expensive childcare
.
