Before students and teachers return to schools, there will be testing on January 7 and 8. Parents are also invited to be tested.
To ensure a safe start to school after the Christmas vacations, mass tests of teachers and students are to be held in January before they return to classrooms. As the Ministry of Education announced Tuesday, students, parents and teachers will be offered to be tested for coronavirus infection on Jan. 7 and 8. Thus, the regular school operation starts after Christmas only on January 11.
It is still unclear whether testing is mandatory for teachers. In any case, there is no obligation for students and parents to take part in the test – but upper school students in particular are to be explicitly approached about this. Those who need care on January 7 and 8 can send their children to school. However, regular classes will not be held on these two days.
New generation of tests
There are also changes in the tests themselves: a new generation of tests will be used, which no longer have to penetrate so deeply into the nose and throat.
