Söder issues an ambitious goal for schools - criticism follows: "With the best will not feasible"

*.

A press conference is scheduled for 12 noon after the meeting.

Corona: Air filters for schools - Söder issues an ambitious goal
One of the main themes is likely to be schools, for example air filters for classrooms. A week ago, CSU * boss Söder had set the goal “that there will be a mobile fan in every classroom in September”. Community assembly president Uwe Brandl (CSU) now called for more clarity in procurement and technology. He thinks the purchase of 120,000 devices by September is “not feasible”, as reported by
Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR)
.
Before the Council of Ministers meeting, Brandl therefore calls for more clarity as to whether the tenders for the devices can be made easier and which specifications should apply so that they are effective against corona viruses at all. "If we are already spending 400 million euros on devices, then they should also benefit our health," Brandl told
BR
.
Air filters in schools: Bavaria's cabinet advises
“Only procuring to cool the parents' emotions down,” says Brandl.
Rather, you have to dampen the euphoria that air filters would prevent schools and daycare from closing.
After all, the Prime Minister's stipulation to procure up to 120,000 air filters by September 15th is "very sporty".
Even if the technical requirements for air filters are soon clear, city and local councils still have to make procurement decisions and involve specialist offices before the holidays in August, says Brandl.
This takes time.
He therefore considers September 15 “not feasible, even with the best will in the world,” he is
quoted
by the
BR
as saying.
