Parents of students at the "Amirim" elementary school in Ramat Hasharon accuse that the lack of ventilation led to the outbreak of corona in the educational institution. Since last Friday, at least 12 cases of verified patients have been detected at the site, and all sixth and first graders have gone into isolation.



The affair began about a month and a week ago, when a window fell off and fell from the first floor into the schoolyard. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the incident because schoolchildren were not present in the yard at the time. An external inspection then revealed that most of the school windows are in danger of disengagement and falling, so the temporary solution found by the municipality is to fix the windows in a non-openable way, with a permanent ventilation opening of about 10 cm.



The school's parents' leadership warned the municipality about a month ago that the classrooms, according to them, are still not well ventilated, making them "corona hatcheries" - but have not been addressed.

"Elementary school children have become an experiment in a closed and airtight corona incubator, which takes place in windowless classrooms when all parties try to evade providing a solution, with irresponsible and life-threatening conduct. Just the thought of one child being with a weakened immune system or close to a person with such a system requires us to shout , Wrote one of the parents at the school.

"Corona Incubator Experiment."

One of the parties involved in the issue on the part of the municipality explained to Walla!

Because this is an old school, in which the municipality has invested about seven million shekels in recent years, and added that the repairs that are carried out in the schools take time, because it has to be done through tenders.

According to him, the current solution is temporary, and according to expectations, the problem will be fixed regularly during the Hanukkah holiday.



It should be noted that the Ministry of Education pays great attention to the issue of ventilation and guides the institutions accordingly.

Recent studies on the corona issue and the chances of contracting the virus have found that the chance of infection in an enclosed space is 20 times greater than in the open air. Reduced, "reads the Ministry of Education portal.
