Schools will be reopened on August 31, but the system that will be implemented with the effects of the corona virus continues. According to the statements made by the Ministry of National Education, the most prominent subject among the applications was co-education. In addition to the arrangements to be made in the classrooms for the protection of social distance in schools, some students are considered to receive online education at home, while others are considered to be face-to-face.
Prof. Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Dr. Mehmet Ceyhan, Turkey said that the most difficult decisions, including the application for the opening of schools in all countries.
PROF. DR. MEHMET CEYHAN ANNOUNCED LAST RESEARCH FOR 27 DAYS
Transferring an important research 27 days before the opening of the schools, Prof. Dr. Ceyhan stated that the 10-19 age group, that is, school-age children, was found to have a much higher risk of transmitting viruses.
‘NO VERY VIRUSES IN CHILDREN, ONLY VERY ACTIVE’
Stating that children are claimed not to infect even if they get viruses, however, recent studies show that this is not true. Dr. Mehmet Ceyhan said:
* The new study in South Korea looked at how much of the contaminants were in what age groups and the highest in-house contact seen, the highest in the 10-19 age group. Between 10-19 years old, who carry the virus inside the house, it transmits more than other age groups, but outside of home is more risky for friends over the age of 20.
* Comparing the two, the probability of transmitting a virus in a person at home is 11.8 percent, while the probability of transmitting a virus in a friend’s environment is only 1.9 percent. So the biggest contamination is in the home environment, and children between the ages of 10-19 are most often provided. This should not be understood as very viruses in children, they are very active, it is very difficult to maintain control inside the house. They were also shown to be infected by reasons such as not being able to pay attention to the distance and wearing a mask inside the house.
‘CHILDREN ARE NOT PROVIDING GENERAL’
Stating that the virus usually does not show symptoms in children and therefore infects the disease, it creates a disadvantage in time. Dr. Ceyhan said:
You do not realize that most of the disadvantaged children in schools have had mild and indeterminate symptoms. You can understand when that child is at home with a more risky, high-risk, chronic disease, and this delays your precaution. When you find out which school and take precautions, the month is over.
Therefore, opening schools is one of the most difficult decisions in every country. School is one of the first places to shut down when an epidemic begins in a country. If you think we’re talking about 18 million people in Turkey. It is not easy to control them.
‘2 METERS DISTANCE IN 1.5 LINES MUST BE PROTECTED IN CLASSES’
Referring to the precautions to be taken in the classrooms when schools are opened. Dr. Ceyhan stated that mixed education was mentioned and continued his words as follows:
* Certain measures will be taken, but it is not easy to take these measures. As I understand from the speeches of the Minister of National Education, it seems that mixed education will be implemented.
The Scientific Committee suggests a distance of 1 meter. This is an unsafe distance. Less than 1.5 meters dangerous. Especially if he is going to take off the child mask, this distance should be 2 meters. Classes need to be well ventilated.
Entries and exits should be controlled very well. This can be done only by dividing the classes into two or three, and in the mixed education, some of them can be done online, some in the school. But if parents are working, it becomes unclear what they will do outside of school hours. It is a subject that has many difficulties and has difficulty in making decisions. Currently, it is the first among the topics discussed by countries in the world.
OPENING THE MOST DIFFICULT SCHOOLS
Stating that the education system is one of the most difficult subjects to be decided, Professor. Dr. Ceyhan ended his statement as follows:
* We cannot say early on the date announced as the opening date for schools because there is no guarantee that it will be better at a later date. There is a risk of virus mutation.
The outbreak is very likely to end two years ago. It is also very difficult to take a break. It is also difficult for the working mother and father who will leave the children at home. A subject that needs to be studied a lot. For this, groups from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labor and education and medical faculties must work very hard and make decisions together. I think this is the most difficult decision to make. (DHA)
