“It is recommended to wash the clothes with which the student enters the gym at a temperature of 60 ° C every day, it is recommended to buy two sweaters,” says the school in a document sent to parents.
But parents immediately became concerned: how to wash jackets? And the manufacturers of sweaters, sweaters, pants and skirts generally recommend washing at half temperature, 30 degrees, will not the uniforms be damaged or shrink?

Finally, is it really necessary to wash daily, since the Ministry of Health has never mentioned such recommendations?
Epidemiologist from the National Center for Public Health (NVSC) Daiva Razmuvienė was very surprised to hear the school’s recommendation.

“It is very difficult for me to comment on where a report of this type comes from, if it is real or just a rumor in the air. As for the virus, it remains in the environment for a while, in different environmental objects – wood, metal, materials – but talking about uniforms when there is no confirmed case, not all children are sick, it really does not make any sense, “he said.
According to D.Razmuvienė, it is really not necessary to wash clothes every day.
“It really has nothing to do with the current situation, that we really have to wash the children at a temperature of 60 degrees every day, well, not the children, wash their uniforms and let them have new clothes every day. Definitely not ”, assured the epidemiologist.
