Hustle and bustle at the FOS / BOS Erding: A schoolgirl tested positive for Corona.

Even though she had shown symptoms, she went to school before receiving her result.

Erding

-

Corona

has put the

FOS / BOS Erding

in a

state of emergency

.

As reported yesterday, a schoolgirl was infected with the virus.

A complete twelfth FOS class and thus 32 students are now in

quarantine

.

But what mainly causes a lack of understanding:

According to the

headmaster

Jens Baumgärtel, the

student

had

shown symptoms

and had herself tested, but had come to

class

- without waiting for the results.

The

positive result

then she received during class on Tuesday.

Parents, students and teachers have been

informed in

detail about the

hygiene plan

at the school.

In addition, the first

parents' letter of

the school year was published during the holidays, says Baumgärtel.

The letter states how to proceed with suspected or confirmed cases.

It expressly states: "The

classroom

lesson

may only be attended again if a

written negative test result is presented to

the class leader and there are no

more

symptoms

."

Despite corona symptoms: Erdinger student goes to class

The student went to the doctor on Friday and had herself tested the next day.

However, the

class management

was not informed that the student had not

voluntarily quarantined

.

Baumgärtel also announced that the doctor

did not necessarily initially associate the

symptoms

shown

with

corona

.

The headmaster emphasizes that the pupil was not

infected

at the

FOS / BOS

, but probably in her

free time

while doing a casual job outside the district.

When the result arrived on Tuesday during class, the school was informed.

“We immediately

contacted

the

health department

,” reports Baumgärtel.

All classmates in the class are now

quarantined

at home for two weeks

.

To be on the safe side, there would also be eight other direct neighbors from cross-class elective subjects.

According to the district office, they should all be tested on Wednesday.

Baumgärtel estimates that they will

even take

swabs

twice

during the

quarantine

.

"We hope that no further cases will be confirmed," says the FOS / BOS head.

He thinks: "It was the

right decision

to leave the school open."

She shows symptoms: the schoolgirl falls ill with Covid-19 - now the whole class is in quarantine

According to Baumgärtel, one difficulty is that the school is not only attended from the Erding district, but also has many students from Ebersberg and Munich.

The last parents should be informed of the incident on Wednesday.

The

sick student

lives in the district of Erding.

Baumgärtel says his school is

even more strict

with the

Corona

issue

than the Ministry of Culture.

The current situation makes him all the more stunned: “You should

definitely stay at home

if you have

symptoms

.

Better

not to have lessons for

two days

than now, ”he emphasizes.

The class was lucky that on Monday they received an introduction to Microsoft's “Teams” program, which

can be used

in

everyday digital school life

,

among other things

.

The access data for it were also released on Monday.

So now

homeschooling is

back in

fashion

for the class

.

The first

video conference took

place on Wednesday.

Return to homeschooling: schoolgirl puts entire class in quarantine

As our newspaper learned, students and parents are annoyed by the

irresponsibility

.

On the one hand there is the return to

homeschooling

, in which some learning content may fall by the wayside.

On the other hand, the twelfth graders are currently working towards their graduation.

Does the student expect a punishment now?

According to district office spokeswoman Daniela Fritzen, that depends largely on how well she was

informed

by the

doctor

who took the smear.

“Depending on this, the initiation of administrative offense proceedings will be examined,” says Fritzen.

The student had been

tested by the

on

-call

service of the Bavarian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVB)

due to

flu-like symptoms

.

The

general hygiene plan of

the Bavarian Ministry of Culture

applies to secondary schools

. “The schools are also obliged to

develop

a

protection and hygiene concept

on this basis. In addition, the schools have house rules and can issue further regulations, ”Fritzen said.
