Australia’s Bans Recorder Recitals, School Choirs To Curb Spread Of COVID-19

Sydney, from now on, children will be banned from playing recorder and singing in school choirs across Australia’s most populous state for awhile. This action is caused by the effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

With the infections hitting several Sydney schools, authorities in New South Wales moved to prohibit choirs and wind ensembles from Wednesday.

“All group singing and/or other chanting activities, as well as the use of wind instruments in group settings, are not permitted,” the local education authority said.

That includes the recorder – a gateway to instrument playing for many small children – while dancing will also be off-limits.

“School formals, dances, graduation, or other social events are not permitted,” the New South Wales education department added.

Melbourne, the country’s second-largest city, is in lockdown and still reporting hundreds of new cases daily, although the number is decreasing.

Most of Melbourne’s functions infections have been linked to aged care homes, where death rates are rising following a peak in cases over the last two weeks.

Australia has recorded more than 23, 000  of COVID-19 and 421 fatalities so far in the pandemic.
