This is how far Thailand is going to protect its schoolchildren from the coronavirus.

The school – which welcomed 250 students back last month – had been shut down since March, according to The Independent.
Plastic screens also have been set up around students’ desks and their temperature is scanned before entering the facility, the newspaper adds.

The protective measures come as another school just north of the Thai capital has asked its 5,000 students to self-isolate at home for 15 days before returning for the new academic year, The Independent reports.
Thailand, as of Monday, has 3,351 coronavirus cases and 58 deaths, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University.
