疫情爆发以来，维州先后关闭近70所学校，名单公布！专家呼吁全面关校（图）

据《先驱太阳报》报道，疫情开始以来，维州有接近70所学校被关闭，周一和周二，15所学校在出现确诊后关闭，引起了人们对学前班到10年级的学生在短短4周时间内返校学习的严重怀疑。

莫纳什大学教授Paul Komesaroff表示，根据现有的证据，可以安全地假设年轻人和其他人一样容易感染这种疾病，并建议所有学生返回学校可能会给维州带来危险。

“尽管年轻人感染后的症状没有老年人严重，但是学校开放带来的传播风险仍然很高。”他说，“所以要权衡的是流行病的风险与孩子的健康。”

但是Komesaroff教授也表示，相比在出现确诊后被动的关闭学校，转为主动出击，全面关闭学校是目前面临的大问题。

“目前有证据支持的观点是，如果病毒传染性很高，那么主动关闭学校是很合适的举措。这将遏制传播，也能让父母们待在家中，使得他们不会感染也无法传播。”

Komesaroff说，如果学校完全关闭，且持续时间长达6周，将阻止病毒传播。

周一，州政府宣布，将向墨尔本城区和Mitchell Shire的公立学校发放120万个一次性口罩，以遏制学校的感染。

教育厅长Merlino说：“未来几天，我们还将为我们的天主教学校和私立学校提供这些一次性口罩。”
