Doctor Brigitte Virey, pediatrician in Dijon and president of the National Union of French Pediatricians, answers questions from students in the CM1 class of the Eustache Varet elementary school in Violaines in the Pas-de-Calais department.

Finally Maël, 9 years old, testifies: “I went back to school in 2022 again with the Covid! What I miss the most is eating with my friends from other classes in the canteen. “ He would like to know: “How many tests are there for children? What is the most effective test? “.
