The answer to the enigma of the opening of schools generates controversy even within the scientific community, being unknown until today, August 30, the date on which the first bell will be heard.
The decision of the Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, is expected on Tuesday, and the final decision is expected to be taken by the government tomorrow, Monday, after the midday conference call with the experts.
This is a decision that is not only easy, as even the scientific community seems divided.
Scientists disagree
According to Professor Elías Mosialos, it is necessary to ensure the greatest possible distances between students.
A similar opinion has been expressed by Professor Manolis Dermitzakis, who speaking to MEGA said that for at least the first two weeks students should go to school in rotation. “My opinion is rotating and if everything goes well after two weeks to go normally. “I think at 7, I think the parents will be back,” said Manolis Dermitzakis, a professor at the School of Genetics at the University of Geneva.
At the same time, two other infectious disease specialists express their opinion on the opening of schools on September 7.
“My opinion is 7. There is another factor in what will happen in the winter, what will be the strength of the epidemic, nobody knows what will happen in December,” said professor of infectious diseases Nikos Sypsas.
“7 or 14 does not offer us anything, in winter we will see how things go,” added the president of the Hellenic Infection Company, Panagiotis Gargalianos.
For his part, Professor Gikas Majorkinis believes that he is not convinced that there is a particular benefit to reducing the number of students in the classroom.
Decision day is Monday
As indicated tomorrow, Monday, the decision is expected to be made, following a suggestion from the commission, which will then be announced on Tuesday by the minister, Niki Kerameos.
Referring to this suggestion, the professor of Infectious Diseases and member of the committee, Charalambos Gogos, in statements to SKAI, expressed the assessment that if the trend of de-escalation of cases registered in recent days continues, schools may open on September 7 .
