As the Department for Education and Migration further explains, wearing a mask – in addition to ventilating the classrooms and washing hands – is the most effective means of avoiding infections in daycare centers and schools and a comparatively minor restriction. By wearing a mask and following the prescribed hygiene measures, classroom teaching can be maintained so far. “Ensuring that classroom teaching at the Augsburg schools continues to have top priority for us,” said Mayor Martina Wild.
Markus Wörle, head of the state education authority, supports the city’s course “The school is a ‘very safe place’ and the student body is finally back in structure and in ‘learning’ in their educational opportunity. All the students I have met on school visits in the past few weeks are very happy to go back to school and to classes. There is also a very high level of acceptance of the hygiene rules and wearing a mask. ”
AHA + L measures have proven their worth
“The RKI is clear in its assessment: distance, hygiene, everyday masks and ventilation reduce the risk of being infected with Covid19 in a very special way. This is especially true in closed rooms. Masks improve the protection against infection for school children. That is our ultimate goal ”, adds Reiner Erben, advisor for health.
