Covid-19 in various high schools: not relevant with closure



[ad_1]

Several have tested positive for covid at senior secondary schools in Norrbotten. These are the schools of Jokkmokk, Boden and Luleå. Yesterday, a person tested positive in the secondary school village in Luleå. Also last week, there were positive covid cases in the high school village. The school has informed parents and students, but has chosen to keep the school open.

No surprise

The fact that schools are now testing positive for COVID-19 does not surprise Anders Nystedt, an infection control physician.

-We have always waited for this to happen. Now we have had positive cases in the upper secondary schools and now it is a matter of tightening and following the rules on social distancing and hand washing, says Nystedt.

Not applicable to close

Closing any upper secondary schools is not relevant at this time.

– In Sundsvall, a school was closed a week after a crash last Friday, but my assessment is that we don’t need to do it in Norrbotten, at least not now, says Anders Nystedt, infection control doctor.
