The sixth grade pupils of the “Natalija Nana Nedeljković” primary school, who attended classes on September 1, were given a measure of self-isolation, because their parents are positive about the crown. As Dr. Predrag Delic, an epidemiologist at the Kragujevac Public Health Institute for “Blic”, says, “If the girl is infected, it is not known, because she has not been tested.”
On the other hand, the director of this school, Dragana Mijović, told the media this morning that the entire family, including the student, was infected with the corona virus.
She told “Telegraf” that the parents of the student who tested positive for the corona virus only informed the classroom teacher around 8.30 pm on September 1 that the girl had been tested and was infected.
– It was said that the whole family was tested and that they all tested positive. Parents did not inform anyone at school that our sixth grade student was tested for a crown. The head of the department called me immediately in the evening, and then the School Administration was informed, as well as the Institute of Public Health in Kragujevac, said director Mijović.
Misunderstood
Meanwhile, a confirmation came from the Ministry of Education that the student was infected, but also information that is not yet known.
In this whole case, it turns out there was a misunderstanding.
As said for “Blic” in the Ministry of Education, the student’s father told his class teacher that all members of the family were infected, without saying that the child had not actually been tested!
The class teacher relayed the information he had to the school authorities, and then they reported it to the Ministry of Education, which proceeded according to procedure. Meanwhile, the city institute was contacted, where it turned out that the boy had not even been examined, so it is not known whether she was infected or not.
What is a fact is that parents are positive for covid, and that is reason enough for the child to stay home and follow the online lessons, and not come to school because of the probability that he is also infected .
The infected parents did not follow the rules and sent the child to school
– Epidemiologists, as a protective measure, after suspecting a crown in the parents, prescribed a measure of isolation for the child, which was not respected, because they sent the student to school even though they knew he was sick – says Delic.
Director Dragana Mijović confirmed for “Blic” that there was confusion. And she said that in the end it turned out that the girl was not even tested. But the fact is that, due to the infected parents, she had to isolate herself.
Other students continue to come to school
Where her parents were infected, she says she was not instructed on that. Even the Public Health Institute in this city, which is still collecting her contacts, to determine the route of the infection and where it occurred, does not know.
– In accordance with the recommendations made by the Serbian Institute of Public Health “Dr. Milan Jovanović Batut”, a list of the measures to be taken was sent to the school. “Trampoline” has developed detailed guidelines on how to act when one case is confirmed in the class, when two are confirmed … Since only one student at this school is suspected of being infected, he is sent into self-isolation, and all other students and teachers who were in contact with him and will continue to go to school, says epidemiologist Delic for “Blic.”
He added that the school leadership was instructed to oversee the implementation of measures for the prevention of kovid 19 and other respiratory infections in the school environment.
Masks should also be worn during class.
– The class instructs all students to wear masks during classes and at school, general and personal hygiene measures are strengthened, especially hand washing and disinfection measures, classrooms are cleaned, and all surfaces that are they touch frequently such as benches, chairs, handles, civilians, are disinfected with alcohol-based products – explains Dr. Delic.
According to him, if two confirmed cases of contagion appear in a class (a group that attends school at the same time), all the students in that group and the teachers who were in contact with them are sent to isolation for 14 days. .
Let us remind you that this is the second crown case that is connected to the school. That is, the first corona case at the school, which the local public learned about, occurred on the first day of school, on September 1. The parents sent the third-grade student from the primary school “Braća Jerković” in Železnik to school, although they were waiting for the result of the PCR test. He arrived at noon that day and the finding was positive.
