A class of 49 people with an open window to face Corona in Kerman – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

Mehr News Agency – Provinces Group: Two years after the corona outbreak, the reopening of schools and universities is necessary, but the reopening of schools and universities, regardless of health protocols and social distance, has worried many families and the scientific and medical community. The next corona wave is expected in the coming days.

Lack of planning for the reopening of schools has caused students in some schools in Kerman not to be able to observe social distance, and school officials have no choice but to hold classes in crowded schools to implement the reopening instructions.

The appearance of crowded classrooms

Following the concerns of parents about the situation of social distance in schools, the governor of Kerman visited two schools in Kerman, and this visit was a good example.

Crowded classrooms stood out during the visit, so that in only one case did 49 students have to attend class without social distance.

Apart from the presence of the governor and the field observations of the reporters, this problem can also be seen in the significant crowds and non-observance of any social distance in other schools in Kerman. Classrooms, sometimes 40 to 49 people in a confined space, crowded halls and schoolyards, accommodate students as school principals and teachers try to make the best use of the mask with the available facilities and student supervision. کردن.

Insist on attending schools without distancing

Meanwhile, in the field of vaccination of students over 12 years old in Kerman 90% and under 12 years old only 30% are covered.

Insisting on attending schools without distancing oneself and parents’ concerns about the spread of coronation among their children, while in all countries of the world distancing, using masks and vaccinations are the main pillars of coping with coronation, and if schools are reopened, These three principles have been observed.

The worrying thing is that the crowded classrooms are due to the conditions before the reopening of schools and the unregulated enrollment of students, and now the number of students is not in line with the infrastructure.

Shift schools

The weather in Kerman is also warming up, while students, especially in primary school, can not be expected to use the mask accurately during all school hours.

There is still the question in the minds of parents why the reopening of schools was not done in shifts and every other day to allow for distance.

In this regard, we talked to Zahra Akbari, an epidemiologist. They created a physical barrier between the students not to get close to each other and to keep a distance.

Reopening must be accompanied by spacing

He added: “In countries that were less strict, the distance between students was observed and 1.5 meters distance was created between each person and the next person and the space was controlled in this way, but in no country do we see that social distance has been eliminated in crowded places.” Be.

“Forcing students into a crowded classroom is, in fact, questioning the core triangle of corona control, namely distance, vaccination, and mask use. In fact, one of the most important basic principles of corona control cannot be ignored,” he said. Let’s take it and try to control the disease as well.

He pointed out that Corona, especially Amicron, has not been removed from society and that there is no end to the disease yet, and that any comment in this regard is unscientific. It is a disease and according to field studies and statistics, there is still a corona in the society.

According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, social distance is a very important and necessary thing to control the disease, and according to field studies and statistics, there is still a corona in society.

He said: “In our country, there is the largest manpower in the education system and schools should be reopened according to the existing infrastructure and the priority of maintaining health.” In fact, the same classes can be held every other day, otherwise we will see a resumption of the disease, which affects not only education but also the economy, health and various aspects of people’s lives.

He continued: “Controlling the spread of corona is a completely scientific issue and can not be faced with unscientific decisions with this epidemic challenge. Now not spacing in schools can help the virus spread.

“Amicron has shown that it can infect children quickly, and even in the delta corona, children have become potential carriers of the virus,” he said.

The large population and significant density threaten not only the health of students but also teachers as an educated segment of society.

Divide students into two groups

In this regard, we talked to several teachers in Kermani. The teacher of one of the girls’ primary schools told the Mehr reporter in this regard: “We have encountered a very high density of students and it is generally not possible to distance ourselves.”

He added: “There are logical solutions for students to attend school. There are 50 people in my class, and we can easily divide them into two groups of 25 so that we can create a gap between students.”

There are logical solutions to wanting students to be in school. There are 50 people in my class, and we can easily divide them into two groups of 25 so that we can create a distance between students.

The governor of Kerman also announced during the visit that due to the population and infrastructure, it is not possible to create distances in schools.

Interestingly, the governor emphasized that the situation of schools is closely monitored, but in a crowded place where the smallest social distance can not be observed and the probability of the virus spreading is high, how is there monitoring because in practice it is only possible to identify patient groups and close outbreaks? Which practically means that these students transmit the disease to family centers.

Confusion of students with underlying disease

Virtual education in Kerman has been cut off under strict supervision and there is no possibility of online virtual education. Students with underlying disease, students with coronary heart disease or symptoms have no possibility to use online classrooms and have lost contact with the class teacher. . The only way is to use the happy network presets, which in most cases are not similar to the teachers’ trainings.

The director general of education in Kerman says in this regard: Education is fully present, we certainly have a program for children who have a problem or case.

Reza Rezaei added: “This is done with the coordination of the heads of education so that the children do not suffer any harm.”

Interestingly, there is no emphasis by Kerman University of Medical Sciences to observe distance, and even in interviews there is no mention of social distance.

Parents of students are urging government officials to reopen schools in proportion to the possibility of social distance so that their children do not face medical challenges.
