According to information from MEGA, the truth is that within the week all parents will be informed of the decision of the specialists and consequently the government regarding the opening of school units.
The basic scenario that is on the table right now is to open all educational levels on January 11.
“Our priority is to open schools. We will wait for the experts to tell us,” said Stelios Petsas this morning without revealing whether all schools will be opened together or only elementary schools.
Which infectious disease specialists are in favor of opening on January 8?
There are many infectious disease specialists who, based on epidemiological data in recent days, consider it safe to open schools immediately after January 7.
“With current data, schools may open on January 7 and there may be a reduction in measures. It’s good that all levels are open now, ”said Matina Pagoni, speaking with SKAI, however, she clarified that she expresses a personal opinion.
The professor of Pathology and Infectious Diseases of the University of Patras, and member of the infectious diseases committee of the Ministry of Health, Charalambos Gogos stressed that the opening of schools on the 8th of the month will be positive.
“From Wednesday to Thursday we will see if we start with the schools, and especially with the elementary schools. “There is an effort to see things positively for the schools, because this situation has taken a long time,” he told MEGA.
Mina Gaga, who was vaccinated yesterday, estimated that schools could open after January 7.
Which infectious disease specialists are more cautious?
On the other hand, the member of the infectious diseases committee and professor of Microbiology at the EKPA School of Medicine, Athanasios Tsakris, does not agree with the opinion that students should return to schools on January 8.
“We have to have concrete data that really convinces us that we are in a significant recession of the epidemic. Of the epidemic,” explained the professor.
Athena Linou, Professor of Medicine at EKPA, was in favor of opening after January 7, but with conditions.
“Schools have to be reopened but with more security measures.” I’m not sure if the system is ready to open the school safely, “he told CNN Greece.
He adds: “Register teachers who have health problems and are in a dangerous phase. They don’t have to go to school. To continue working remotely. There may be circular assistance from children so that parents do not drop out of school in large cities. Where schools are small, in secluded areas, where children can even walk to school, there they could open. “But where there are thousands of children in the same area, there should be a method so that not all children have to go to school at the same time.”
Vaccines will also help achieve safety, he estimates.
“Teachers should be among the first population groups to be vaccinated. Health and the elderly are ahead, but immediately after they must follow teams that come in contact with many people for a long time.”
