Bengaluru: Schools welcome children with candy and flowers when the primary parts are reopened after a 18-month break may be a heart warming, but has raised the hackers of experts who feel social distance are victims.
The lack of social distance during lunch breaks is another problem, they said.
Each type of crowding in school should not be permitted because of the number of violations of behavior that matches Covid (taxi), said Dr.
CN Manjunath, Nodal Officer for Covid testing in Karnataka.
He said efforts must be made to ensure children study at school, but they should not stand in queues or crowding for any reason.
Members of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will discuss this issue on Thursday and Dr MK Sudarshan, Chairperson, the staff suggested may be passionate.
“In their enthusiasm they welcome children in schools after 18 months of closing, there may be emotional reactions and staff may miss the safety protocol,” he said.
“In the current scenario may not pose a threat because the case is low, but there is no possibility of repetition.
Such crowding is not liked.” He said Covid was not a major threat to children because they would not be seriously affected.
Incidentally, TAC suggested that the government reopen the first primary part, ahead of higher value.
“At lunch, children may not sit side by side.
There are at least three feet between each.
For this, orientation must be given to the teacher,” said Dr.
Sudarshan.
Dr.
V Ravi, a member of Virology and Tac, said the taxi could not be compromised.
“Physical distance must be maintained and enforced,” said Dr.
Ravi.
“Schools are allowed to reopen only in that condition.
It is not true if the protocol is violated.” When contacted, R Vishal, Commissioner, the Department of Public Instruction, said it was very difficult to keep children with each other, especially in government schools.
He said he hoped many things to settle in 3-4 weeks.
“The teacher repeatedly advises students to maintain physical distance, but need time for children to adjust to new norms,” ​​Vishal said.
“I understand the problem.
If the teacher becomes very tight, children may stop coming to school.
It has become a challenge to get children to school, especially in the lower class when they are used to being at home.” He also said it wasn’t easy to Make children sit in an open area during lunch hours.
“The midday food is better done in the corridor than on the ground open because it can be dirty.
The time taken for middle-day eating can be improved by doing it wisely.
All of these solutions can be seen into the local,” he said.
He showed that infections among children at a higher level have not increased, even though they have been open for some time now.
He also frowned on a stand some parents who thought online class was enough.
“Children cannot learn all online skills,” he said.
“We must motivate parents and children gradually move from online to only regular classes.
I am also not sure of a hybrid model.” Dr.
Supraja Chandrashekar, pediatric intensively based on Bengaluru, said the class on campus must be normalized and students must be convinced that they are safe.
“Covid is here to remain so the norm must be followed.
Children are protected because more than 90% of them will not have large symptoms.
However, crowding in closed space must be avoided.
Children must be made comfortable at school,” he said .
