And it's just the beginning of wave five. And parents often find themselves in seemingly hopeless situations. They either pay for babysitters or afterschool, or quit their jobs, all to avoid leaving their kids home alone. But nannies are getting harder to find and not everyone has money for afterschool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Nearly three thousand schools risk going online next week if the incidence exceeds three per thousand population. Even more if the threshold rises significantly. And it's not just the students. Parents are starting to have serious problems as they can't leave their children home alone while they go to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\"If they didn't have help from their grandparents, they have nothing to do, even working at home.

I gave up work anyway, for me it was a sacrifice for the first time since the pandemic started.\"\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Those who don't have a fallback option and are forced to quit their jobs and stay at home are now waiting for help from the state. Which is 75% of the average gross wage. Last year, in wave 4 alone, 646 employees from 467 firms asked for days off to stay at home during the online school period.  Data from the Labor Ministry show that the state paid more than 660 thousand lei for parents' allowances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parents have to pay for babysitters or afterschool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One alternative is afterschool.
