We invite you to see the press conference:
See no reason to close schools
At the same time, D. Razmuvienė emphasized that due to fixed illnesses, it is definitely not worth taking new precautions in all schools.
“These are still isolated cases, from the beginning of September, which showed that the children did not infect anyone at school, they came from the family, from the holidays. (…)
All fireplaces in schools are managed, contacts are quickly collected. So it doesn’t make sense to think that it would be worth closing all schools just for that, ”he said.
According to the doctor, schools are gradually realizing how to act in these cases: “So, if everyone works in good faith, without causing panic, those chimneys are well managed.”
Calls to learn how to live with the virus
Speaking about the isolation of all classes in the case of one case yesterday, Rolanda Lingienė, head of the NVSC Vilnius department, pointed out that school communities often choose a strategy not to live in a new reality with the virus, not to take all precautions, but to prevent threats that are not identified.
“But we can very quickly get to a situation where schools will quarantine everywhere in this way. Currently, more than 200 students, their parents and teachers had to be isolated in four school days. Yes, as it is. tried in the first days, whole classes were isolated that had no contact with the sick, only had contact with the sick, then imagine what the number would be. We need to realize that we will have to live with the virus for a long time, we have to get used to it. and apply all security measures, “he said.
Because, according to the specialist, there is a clear lack of information, remote school communities will be organized to avoid panic at the detection of COVID-19 infection.
