It's "back to school" season in much of mainland Europe and we've already mentioned plans in Spain to record temperatures in classrooms, while officials have been urging parents not to send their children if they show signs of a fever.

Well other countries across the continent have also been looking at measures to allow schools to welcome back pupils in a safe, healthy way.

In France, for example, it's going to be mandatory for teachers and pupils over 11 to wear masks indoors - although limits on class sizes are going to be lifted, and social distancing will no longer be compulsory in all situations.

Germany's government is advising schools to take extra hygiene measures, such as frequent hand-washing, and for people to keep their hands off the banisters when going up and down the stairs - although masks are not mandatory. Schools have already reopened in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but two schools have had to close after cases were confirmed there.

And in Italy, where schools have been closed since a strict lockdown was imposed in March, pupils will have to socially distance one metre apart and entry into schools will be staggered. Pupils will have to wear masks, while teachers will wear masks and face shields. Pupils who live with vulnerable family members will be able to take classes remotely.
