In relation to public statements on the development of epidemiological data in the student population in connection with the implementation of the directive on the possibility to continue schooling for those contacts who have a negative result in diagnostic tests, the following is announced:
[*]The number of cases among pupils, as indicated by the positivity rate, has not been affected by the implementation of the measure. Contrary to the claim that has been made, the positivity rate was 0.76% on the day before the implementation of the measure and then over 11 days of implementation of the measure it fluctuated between 0.55% and 0.88%, with most days being lower than the initial rate. That is, the numbers show that the claim of "chains in schools" does not hold water.
[*]Note that the average positivity of the contact students who chose the retention test, 1.3%, compares to more than double the general positivity rate in the community.
[*]With regard to the claim that some contact students may be a few hours late in arriving to be screened in the morning before classes begin, any loss of instructional time for these students in particular should be compared to their complete absence for seven days. [*]The instruction given by the Ministry of Health that this category of students who are contacts and can participate in classes cannot use the bus is valid and should be enforced.
Attached are detailed results on the implementation of the measure.
