Forget the serologies: this is how you will keep the children healthy in the classrooms

The rush of serological tests is celebrating, and at the moment it is not really possible to know how the school year will open or how we will maintain the health of our children within the walls of the school.

We asked the virologist Dr. Oren Kuibler to give us the rules of thumb that every school principal should know - and that includes a vaccine for teachers

The serological tests for school children only started yesterday, but only one day later there are those who talk about canceling them, and probably not in vain.

Just before the start of the school year, we wanted to find out how you can keep your children healthy in the classrooms in a very simple and effective way - without the tests.



"In general, there are some very simple principles to reduce corona contagion in classrooms," explains Dr. Oren Kuibler, a virologist from Tel Aviv University School of Medicine and a member of the "Madat" association.

Even if it means that each family will donate a fan, it is better than the serological tests. "

Dr. Koebler explains that according to information received in recent days from around the country, serological tests are able to detect up to two percent of children who have had the disease in the past and did not know, and these are very low numbers, which translates to one or two children in a class. Stabbing in children's finger, to find out 1-2 percent in children?

Or among the ultra-Orthodox who have reached 16-20 percent?

The average in the country is ten percent and less than ten percent is not equal. "

According to Dr. Koebler, the serological tests are meaningless.

This test is useless and is trusted too much.

Those who come out positive are not safe for the rest of their lives, nor for the rest of the year. "



What is critical in his eyes for the success of the school year and maintaining children's health is the teachers' vaccine."

There is no reason to allow them not to get vaccinated, "he clarifies.

The open air is almost as effective as the vaccine.

What do you do in Israel when the classrooms are large and crowded?

"First of all masks, then open windows. Those who can get vaccinated should go get vaccinated. I believe that until the beginning of October 6-12 year olds can get vaccinated with Pfizer vaccination. Keeping distance is also important, difficult in Israel but very desirable. .

According to CDC studies even a sufficient distance of a meter in a ventilated classroom.



According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, there are five important and vital prevention strategies in preventing COVID-19 transmission in schools:

  • Universal and correct use of masks

  • Physical distance

  • hand washing

  • Cleaning and maintenance of school facilities

  • Follow-up of contacts combined with isolation and quarantine
