The first day of classes epidemiologist Kon He told TV Prva that it cannot be said that there is no virus, and that it will not be in schools, “therefore it is impossible to say that children are absolutely safe.”
As he advised his parents, before each start at school, the temperature should be measured and checked for any health problems. It is also important to wear a mask and learn how to use it correctly.
SURVEY: Do you adhere to the measures prescribed by crisis personnel?
Dr. Kon said that the mask can be stored while sitting in the place where the distance is determined, so that the mask does not get wet. It is also important to change the mask as needed. He emphasized the importance of wearing a mask because it prevents the possibility of infection and normal attendance at class.
As he said, in case of infection, the parent informs the school, and the school has an obligation to inform the Institute of Public Health that a child is ill.
“After that, he continues to be associated. After that, an epidemiological investigation follows, where it is verified whether or not the protection measures have been respected. A conversation is held with the parents, the father talks with the father beforehand”, explained Dr. Kon.
As he said, some parents think that the mask interferes with the child’s health, “which is absolute nonsense.”
Dr. Kon He said there were confirmations that all hygiene work in the schools would be done in a timely manner.
“Every child must understand that his table is his place. The children will be the ones who will try to respect what they are told,” said the epidemiologist.
He emphasized that a teacher who has a respiratory problem or fever should not come to school to teach.
Dr. Kon explained that allergies are quite different from infections. “There is no temperature, those who have it already know how to recognize it,” he said.
As he said, caution must be intensified and there will be a lot of work for pediatricians.
He added that everything will be relaxed to the maximum when it comes to absences from classes and transition to online classes.
“What we have to show in the next two weeks is how much is happening in schools,” concluded Dr. Kon.
