What does the length of a queue matter? Longer queues don't mean more people.
Serve them a pack lunch if its that much of a worry or pre pack the lunches and out them on the tables. Is really that big an issue?
We've got a pandemic which is incurring hardship and you're worried about the length of a queue. That suggests they're getting it right to me if thats all we have to worry about. Or you are just an over thinker/worrier.
The queues aren't the issue. Do you really think the queues are the issue here? It's just highlighting how hard it is to 'police' the 2 metre social distancing measures. When our school is fully open there are nearly 2500 kids, and a few hundred staff. How do you social distance that amount of people in a school? How do you stop kids being kids, coughing at each other saying, "you've got Corona now"? How do you move 2500 kids round a school 6-7 times a day without contact? How do you clean every desk and chair down between lessons? Now times this by 30+ schools.
You could serve them packed lunches at their tables. Would those tables be the tables which seat 2 next to each other, or 4 in a 1.5 metre square space? Either way, they're not socially distanced.
It's going to be part of my job to work out how the message is communicated once we start opening all our schools again. I've got a picture of our sites in my head, and the number of kids/staff, and I can only see closures again if infection rates start going up again.
