Luxembourg's Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth has provided details on the evolution of the COVID-19 situation in schools across Luxembourg for the week between 3-9 May 2021.
The figures for students and teachers who tested positive for COVID-19 relate to all public and private primary and secondary schools and competence centres in specialised psycho-pedagogy located across the Grand Duchy.
During the week of 3 to 9 May 2021:

- 251 positive cases corresponding to scenario 1 were counted in 66 primary schools, 38 secondary schools and two competence centres (scenario 1: pupil or teacher infected outside the school without there being a spread of the virus at school).
