The pilot project in Vilnius Duke Gediminas Progymnasium to resume contact primary education will start a week after the end of the school holidays, says Vilnius mayor spokesman Karolis Vaitkevičius.
According to him, the “majority” of the school community agrees to participate in the project, and next week it is planned to carry out coronavirus tests through a cumulative test, that is, immediately analyzing samples from the student’s entire family.
“Tests are likely to take place during student vacations if they can be arranged if they are not away. The training itself could start after the holidays. Parents will be informed by a short message that it is time to take the test, ”K. Vaitkevičius told BNS.
He stressed that the school vacation schedule will not change, families will be evaluated every ten days, and students must continue to be in contact with teaching at all times.
“The situation will be monitored, all the requirements will be met so that student flows do not mix, classes will be separated, there will be lessons on separate floors,” said the mayor’s representative.
The pilot project was approved by the Government on Friday: the Municipality of Vilnius was allowed to carry out preventive examinations of the main families and employees of the Duke of Vilnius Gediminas Progymnasium for two selected weeks in February-March.
According to the same principle, it is allowed to investigate employees of selected Vilnius municipal companies who work in contact form.
K. Vaitkevičius says that companies are still being talked about, the experiment will be carried out only in some of them.
“This means that people who work in contact working on the same teams can run tests at the same time. We are preparing for this, we are talking to companies now and we may announce in the near future which companies are most at risk, for whom it would be better to do so. The principle is to evaluate if it works well, because it is new enough, “he said.
Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys said on Friday that if this pilot project is successful, it could be applied more widely across the country.
According to the Prime Minister, the accumulation of cumulative evidence would significantly increase the scope of the investigation.
