In view of the tougher pandemic containment rules, pediatricians warning of renewed school closings. The main risk of infection is not in schools, but in the family environment, says association president Dotsch.
In view of the tightened measures to contain the fourth corona wave, pediatricians have warned against school closings again. "I urgently advocate maintaining school operations throughout the fourth wave," said the President of the German Society for Child and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ) Jorg Dotsch of the "Rheinische Post".
He referred to studies according to which the infection in children and adolescents does not occur in schools but mainly in the family environment. In addition, most infections do not occur during school time, but rather during the holidays. "The schools are currently helping to control infections in children, especially regular testing, wearing mask and hygiene are crucial," said Dotsch.
The association president welcomed the clear rejection of the traffic light parties to renewed school closings. It is to be hoped that they will still remember it if the situation worsens and further measures are necessary.
The professional association of paediatricians (BKVJ) also warned of renewed severe restrictions for children and adolescents. School and daycare closings would never primarily serve to protect children and young people, but above all to protect unvaccinated adults.
"These must never be done before all other measures to protect against infection have been exhausted, including a general vaccination requirement for adults", said BVKJ federal spokesman Jakob Maske of the "Rheinische Post"...
