Why must every school be deep-cleaned?

The cautious creep towards level 3 of the lockdown has been largely regulated by the risk of the coronavirus to the public health. However, irrational decisions stemming from this are impeding our progress and will affect the future detrimentally. Even if the virus had spread to schools before they closed, after being empty for nearly nine weeks any trace of the virus has gone. Not only does this delay the resumption of education, it wastes a vast amount of money the government could rather put into preventing children being exposed to the virus en route to and within schools. That few children contract the virus makes the huge cleaning drive another case of governmental overkill.
