After COVID-19, many municipalities and kindergartens undertook sand removal. The reason is that bacteria grow in them. There were similar actions in Blagoevgrad and Plovdiv.
“Instead of the sandboxes there will be a position of new entertainment games, facilities that comply with the regulations: lady type, swing, swing, slide,” explained Eng. Daniela Paleva from the municipality of Blagoevgrad.
A year later, city parents seem to approve of the separation of the most popular outdoor play facility for children.
“I don’t accept having a sandbox, I don’t live in Bulgaria, but in England, and there are no sandstones because they carry viruses. There shouldn’t be. Many dogs and cats go out there, it is not hygienic “, say the parents in front of Nova TV.
Meanwhile, the example of Blagoevgrad followed throughout the Plovdiv region, where the regional health inspection removed sandstones from the territory of kindergartens. On the basis that they carry a high risk of infectious and parasitic diseases. And its disinfection carries the risk of allergies. The prescription, explained by the health inspection, had nothing to do with the distribution of COVID-19. However, there was another reason.
“Children are standing in the sand all the time and they are immobilized. A folk dance game or something else is a better alternative than the sandbox game, “says Dr. Tsvetana Ivanova, Director of Public Health at RHI – Plovdiv.
“We can’t say, ‘No, sandbox, no problem!’ What is the guarantee that after the litter box is removed, the children will not dig anywhere else and become infected with the same things? ”Asks Snezhka Karatoteva from the Association” Safe Playgrounds “.
Snezhka is the mother of 5 children, by profession: a playground designer. A few years ago, with other parents, they formed an association that aims to fight for safe playgrounds. And protecting the sandstones becomes their cause.
“Playing in the sandbox develops fine and gross motor skills, imagination, social games, physical laws,” he explains.
The National Center for Public Health and Analysis is also against the principle “No sandstone, no problem.” Specialists do not approve of the decision of the health inspection in Plovdiv. According to their analysis, there are no intestinal parasites in the sandstones and no heavy metal contamination. What they do find, however, are foreign bodies, such as wood, plastic, and glass. As well as various microorganisms.
