On Thursday, March 12, 2020, the Department of Education and Skills announced that all schools in Clare would be closed from Friday, March 13, until further notice. This decision was made in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Ireland.
The closure of schools in Clare affects all primary and secondary schools, as well as preschools and creches. All school activities, including sports, clubs, and extra-curricular activities, have also been suspended.
The Department of Education and Skills has said that the closure of schools is a precautionary measure to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The department is working with public health officials to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as they become available.
In the meantime, parents and guardians are advised to keep their children at home and to follow the advice of public health officials. Children should wash their hands frequently, cover their mouths and noses when they cough or sneeze, and avoid touching their faces.
