From the investigation and tracking of the current positive cases of COVID-19, it appears at first sight that, in addition to the intra-family transmission of the virus, there is a spread in schools, mainly by staff, but also students through their family environment.
Following this development, in consultation with the Ministry of Education, it was decided that all teachers and school staff, without exception, must undergo a weekly weekly antigen test, starting tomorrow. Teachers and school staff can take the test either free of charge at the Ministry of Health's sampling points or privately at their own expense. It is emphasized that the certificate of negative result is a necessary condition for their return to their workplace from March 1 and should be presented during the inspections that will be intensified from Monday.
At the same time, students are strongly advised to take a rapid test, with the consent of their parents / guardians.
At the same time, there have been cases in recent days of people who, while showing symptoms of the disease, continue to come to work, resulting, on the one hand, in delaying their diagnosis and, on the other, in spreading the virus within their workplaces .
It is reminded that people who develop coronavirus symptoms should limit themselves and contact their Personal Physician immediately, who will give them further medical guidance and / or refer them for a laboratory examination at Public Health Clinics.
