The opening of the schools, which appears to have been blocked for September 14, was mentioned during today’s coronavirus briefing by the assistant professor of Hygiene and Epidemiology at the EKPA School of Medicine, Gikas Majorkinis.
In particular, he stressed that it is a universal social priority, and asked everyone for patience and perseverance, be they students and their tutors, but also teachers.
In addition, he called on families to return to their bases at the end of August, so that there is enough time to ensure that one of their members is not infected and so that children can go to school without problems, thus reducing the risk of transmission. .
How should schools be opened?
When asked how schools should be opened and whether it would be safer to increase the number of classrooms to increase the distance between students, he said the answer is complex.
This is because, as he said, epidemiological models show that if classes increase, outbreaks can increase with increasing number of teachers.
He also said that “we do not get much benefit by increasing the classes and reducing the students” neither at an epidemiological level or at an educational level.
He also stressed that addressing the pandemic is a collective responsibility.
