The president of the Romanian Society for Microbiology, Alexandru Rafila, said that the most suitable solution to apply the three scenarios regarding the return to school would have been their adaptation to the needs of each school unit. He said that before the schools could resume their activities, they should have practiced the new procedures and not start experimenting after the children enter classes.
When asked if the return of children to school can be done in complete safety, Romania’s representative at WHO, Alexandru Rafila, told Digi24: “One hundred percent is not complicated, it is unrealistic. It does not exist. such an ideal situation. “
“The answer cannot be unitary, because the way in which the different school units managed to prepare is very different. It started with a report about the lack of bathrooms in many schools. The problem is not only that they go to the toilets that are outside the school, the problem is how they go, if they are enough, if the people who take care of and clean the schools are trained to do this and I think that idea that was ridiculed. For some, to pilot, that is, to practice the procedures before starting schools, I think it was very appropriate and not to start experimenting after the children enter the schools ”, said Rafila.
He explained that the non-discriminatory application of the three scenarios, without taking into account the particularities of each school, “is not the happiest.”
“We have to be flexible. This issue of the division into yellow and green or red areas must be adaptable to each school. Not only does the number of cases registered in a certain locality matter, the incidence accumulated in the last two weeks matters. the school as it is in terms of spaces, hygienic-sanitary conditions, the number of students in each class.
I think it is normal that in green areas, where the crowd is too large, a hybrid stage is requested, in yellow areas, where the number of students in the class is small, to be able to go to a stage similar to the green area.
This non-discriminatory application, taking into account only the criterion of accumulated incidence, is not the happiest and I think it could be re-evaluated in the coming weeks, taking into account the conditions offered by each school and the number of students in each school.
One is, for example, in an area with yellow writing to work alternately with the children of the secondary classes in two series, if there are 36 children in the class, and another situation if there are 15 children in the class, as in many rural schools. It is not necessary to come alternately, you can come to school permanently, because there are few children.
These issues need to be very well resolved, but unfortunately the provisions of the current regulations do not explicitly mention this possibility of adapting the school curriculum taking into account the conditions that the school strictly offers and this generates misunderstandings, tensions or the impossibility of assuming. measures of the school management ”, said Alexandru Rafila.
