I only know of the Netherlands since my family lives there. According to them pretty much everything is open, schools start in 2 weeks. Events and night clubs are still closed. Face masks aren't really used and supermarkets are pretty lax in any measures (just removed some shopping carts while telling people you can only come in with a shopping cart to 'regulate' foot traffic). Cases are going up. They were as low as a 42 cases 3-day average, currently back up to 370 cases 3-day average.

Here (Canada) an expert from sick kids estimated that there's about a 5.3% chance to end up with an infected kid in a class of 30 (elementary schools). Teachers are having second thoughts and some are refusing to go back to school.... That chance is for the current number of estimated infections. School here is still a month away and we just completed phase 3 re-openings yesterday while cases already started to slowly climb after phase 2. By the time school starts the number of active infections could be much higher.
