The opening of the schools will not recall the usual images of a “first day at school”, since the operation of the school units is going through … a protocol. The EODY protocol permeates all aspects of school life, and students, teachers, and parents are asked to follow directions, to return to normal conditions, to be as smooth as possible.
In accordance with EODY instructions, the first two hours of the first and second day of school operation will focus on informing students about hygiene rules, emphasizing distance and hand hygiene and wearing the mask as an optional supplementary measure.

– Teach children to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or disinfect them with an alcoholic antiseptic solution after each break and especially before taking food and after going to the bathroom.
– Help children carry out frequent cleaning of surfaces and objects in the classroom (for example, desks, bags, books, etc.).
– Inform children about the importance of not exchanging objects with each other.
– Check the number of missing students daily and inform the school principal in case the number of absent students increases.

3. What to be careful with parents and guardians
– Encourage children to follow EODY guidelines published at school and implement hygiene measures (Avoid close contact with people with virus symptoms and keep distance from the elderly or vulnerable family members, coughing and sneezing on the elbow or a disposable tissue that you will immediately throw away and wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after eating a napkin.)
– Keep children home if they feel sick, contact a primary care doctor immediately, preferably a child who monitors them regularly, and report to school.

The rules
The return of the members of the school community to the schools is carried out with the necessary protection measures, which have been provided by EODY and the Ministry of Education, the observation of the distance of 1.5 meters being the most basic.
To reduce congestion during the arrival and departure of students to school, the regular meeting in the courtyard will not take place before the start of the program. Students will go directly to the classroom. The maximum number of students allowed per class is fifteen (15) and the distance between the students sitting at the desks must be 1.5 meters. Classrooms are divided into two and students will go to school in rotation. Monday – Wednesday – Friday will be half way and Tuesday – Thursday the other half, while next week it will be the other way around. Small sections (up to 15 people) will be able to operate daily.
According to the Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, 66% of the departments of the third GEL secondary school will teach daily and not in rotation, because these departments have less than 15 students and there is no need to divide the departments. The corresponding percentage of the departments of the 3rd EPAL high school is 74%.
Regarding the design of the corridors, the relevant circular stipulates that the desks will have a common orientation and the students will sit one by one at the desk and, alternatively, on the left and right sides of the desk, not one behind the other.
Of course, the ventilation of the classrooms will be carried out and it is planned to clean them twice a day.
Rest will be different from now on. Students will not take a single break and there is also a gradual exit in order, while each class will have a different space on the patio.
Ball games (for example, volleyball, basketball, soccer) are prohibited and dining rooms will be closed.
Equipment
According to EODY, each school unit must have the protection of students and teachers as a priority with the following:
– Alcoholic antiseptic solutions for each class.
– Wet cream soap for toilets
– Towels for toilets whenever possible.
– Common cleansers and disinfectants suitable for cleaning.
Surfaces with antiviral action (homemade bleach and alcoholic solutions with at least 70% alcohol)
– Surgical and non-medical masks (for emergencies)
– Gloves, mainly for cleaning personnel, as well as for other emergencies.
EODY protocol for cases
To manage any symptoms that occur in a member of the school community, the relevant EODY protocol will be activated, based on the monitoring process and with qualifications depending on each case.
If a student becomes ill with coronary heart disease, the school is not closed. Classmates in the same neighborhood plan to leave school for 10 days. As long as they don’t show any suspicious symptoms, they will return. As for the student who may be ill, they are expected to return to school after 3 days from the onset of fever and the remission of their symptoms, as well as the passage of at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms.
