In Bashkiria, an increase in the number of cases of coronavirus in schools was recorded

In Bashkiria, following the results of the first three school days, there is a slight increase in the number of cases among schoolchildren and teachers. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Education Aibulat Khazhin at a meeting in the government of the republic on Monday, September 6.

“Now we are seeing a slight increase in the number of cases both among students and teachers,” he said.

The head of the region, Radiy Khabirov, instructed the Minister of Health to report on the number of students and teachers who fell ill with COVID-19 in schools, colleges and universities. “We will look at the dynamics. If the dynamics are even, it’s good, if it’s uneven, we’ll think about what to do with it,” he said.

To prevent infection in schools, the flows of students are divided. For teachers, a “yellow” zone is allocated at the blackboard, within the boundaries of which they can conduct lessons by removing the mask. About 12.7 thousand "antique inspectors" from among students of a medical university and colleges work in schools. Over 2.2 thousand teachers also monitor compliance with sanitary and epidemiological rules.

Aibulat Khazhin said that 93 children were transferred to distance learning for three to four weeks for health reasons. Appropriate applications were submitted by their parents.
