“It just came to our attention then. From Monday, December 7 until winter break (December 23 inclusive), all students in Palanga and Šventoji, including primary school children, will receive distance education. This decision was made taking into account the growing COVID-19 morbidity curve in schools and the recommendations of the National Center for Public Health, ”said the mayor of the complex.
Š.Vaitkus added, understanding that this decision will cause a lot of problems for both the children and the teachers.
“However, we have no other option – if we have to choose, whom – for the comfort or health of children and teachers – we give priority, we choose the second option,” says the head of Palanga.
There is also data that during the last four days 9 teachers and staff and 3 students became ill at schools. 182 people had close contact with them.
“If we do not take strict measures today, the situation is likely to get worse tomorrow. I believe that everyone, parents and teachers alike, will understand and agree that we do not have the right to play with the health of children and school personnel,” he explained Mayor.
During the last day in Palanga, coronavirus was detected in 3 residents of the town. A total of 223 people are sick.
