At least three-quarters of elementary school teachers in France were reported to be on strike and half of elementary schools were closed Thursday in protest at the government’s Covid-19 protocols, according to a French teachers’ union.

The French Ministry of Education told CNN on Thursday it had no official figures yet regarding the size of the strike, as French trade unionist speaking on radio station France Info​on Thursday morning said the strike was “not against the virus,” but rather “a strike against the lack of consultation.”

On Monday, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced a softening of the testing protocols introduced at the beginning of January for French students.

Students will now only be required to take three Covid-19 tests at home following a positive case in their class before returning to school.
