Corona Committee convenes to discuss the impact of morbidity on the education system • The Ministry of Health warns: "Children become infected and contagious and may even be super-distributors"
The Corona Committee will discuss today (Monday) the morbidity data in the education system and their effect on the outline of return to studies.
A preliminary analysis conducted at the Ministry of Health before the committee convenes shows that children are contagious and contagious and may even be super-distributors.
The conclusion about the children is because most of them do not show symptoms, and thus it is difficult to identify a significant proportion of the children who carry the virus and they may be a source of infection for others.
The Ministry of Health warns that the presence of children in educational settings, especially in a state of widespread morbidity at the time and place, may accelerate the spread of the disease from place to place and among a number of different age groups, mainly due to being a source of infection.
The impact can be both in different age groups and in different geographical areas.
"It is important that the education system returns to activity gradually and in accordance with the level of morbidity in the various age groups and in different geographical areas," the Ministry of Health said.
According to the back-to-school outline, first- and second-graders will study in shifts - either two groups that will study week after week alternately, or two groups that will share half a week in a class and a half in distance learning.
In third and fourth grades, classes will be held in small group capsules.
