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。”
