Teachers’ Union writes on their Facebook page:

To date, we know of 3 colleagues who have been confirmed to have died from Covid infection.

The Budapest Organization of the Hungarian Hungarian Socialist Republic requested that teachers be screened and that teachers with chronic diseases and older teachers be exempted from work.

The answer was no. It seems that those who work in education can be sacrificed

– declares the organization PSZ Budapest.

The Teachers Union has previously formulated an eight-point lawsuit that, among other things, Order digital education in the municipality where the coronavirus appeared. According to the union, material and personal conditions for work in small groups in primary schools and kindergartens must be guaranteed. It also requires that the PSZ Disinfection and thermometry should not be done by teachers. and his letter also included that the personnel of the institutions be examined regularly.

The government responded almost immediately to the union’s demand. According to Emmi

it would not increase safety at all and it would be completely useless from a professional point of view to evaluate teachers regularly (either monthly or biweekly),

because the PCR test only shows the current condition and there is no guarantee that the person will not be infected even the day after the test. However, anyone suspected of having a coronavirus infection will be tested for free in all cases.

According to the Secretary of State for Public Education of the Ministry of Human Resources, the preventive measures previously implemented in schools are enough to protect against the coronavirus. According to Zoltán Maruzsa the current situation is not yet so serious that further action is necessary.

The secretary of state said that there is currently an extraordinary recess in 24 kindergartens, which is 0.81 percent of kindergartens. 17 schools were temporarily closed and 102 schools introduced digital education outside the classroom in one or two classes affected by viruses.

The autumn holidays will officially start in Hungary on October 23. According to Zoltán Maruzsa, this period may be adequate for the virus to “spread” from the infected institutions.
