Juodupė Gym: two cases of COVID-19 for employees, the number of contacts is high, transition to distance learning

According to Gimtasis Rokiškis, the number of contacts is expected to be very large: the aforementioned employees had them with various classes of students and the gym administration. Infected workers and those who have been in contact with them are in self-isolation. They felt symptoms of the disease last Friday, with tests reported Wednesday that both COVID-19s were confirmed.

The gym is moving towards distance education. The exact extent to which the gym community and others had contact with the infected workers is still unknown, and is being followed up by public health professionals. One version: the infection path to the Juodupė gym leads to Kamaji, where there was a COVID-19 fireplace.

The chimneys are already in 18 schools

Increasingly, the public questions the management of COVID-19 in educational settings. From the beginning of the school year to the present, they have been identified in 18 schools and preschools, for a total of 20 cases.

For professionals, this is not unexpected. After all, educational institutions, their staff and students are the part of society that the virus can enter, even with maximum effort. Especially since it has already been proven that children and adolescents often feel weak symptoms or no symptoms. The most important thing now is deliberate preparation to handle this infection so that it does not spread. Case studies of epidemiologists on Covid-19 disease show that educational institutions lack practical information. Some examples of wrong answer: The whole school is closed after a case is recorded, people are isolated after contact with a contact person, and a sick employee is claimed to have been in contact with all school personnel . What does this mean? That educational institutions particularly lack information and a clear plan of action.

Therefore, in 2020 September 16 1 pm NVSC organizes DISTANCE LEARNING for educational institutions. They will present algorithms for educational personnel, managers, parents of children, how to behave when a case of COVID-19 is detected or exposed.

There will also be time to answer any questions you may have. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control notes that if the school meets distance and hygiene requirements, the school is not considered a more conducive environment for the spread of COVID-19 compared to other settings with a similar number of people. According to various studies, COVID-19 is rarely transmitted from one child to another at school. This was confirmed by case studies conducted by NVSC epidemiologists. Therefore, only by clearly knowing how we should behave can we successfully manage the disease together.
