The Center for Disease Prevention and Control (SPKC) explained that epidemiologists continue to work with the educational institution. In the course of the epidemiological investigation, close contact persons are identified and appropriate epidemiological safety measures are taken.

The SPKC stressed that quarantine has been imposed on Covid-19 patients and several school classes. Guntra Buivida, the director of Kuldīga Secondary School No. 2, said that two teachers of the educational institution, one of whom had worked with eight classes, as well as one technical employee, fell ill with Covid-19. In turn, the students are not sick. “Given that one teacher had worked with eight classes and four classes were already in quarantine, we did not have the opportunity to continue working,” said Buivida. In October, Buivida also said that children study at the school, whose parents work for SIA “Kuldīgas tekstils” and whose parents have been confirmed to have Covid-19. Teachers, on the other hand, found out about Covid-19 after a saliva test. The third teacher also has respiratory illness, but he had a negative Covid-19 test. “Both positive teachers had a temperature, a fracture, so I urge my colleagues across the country to take their health very seriously. When the first symptoms of the disease are detected, they should stay at home to protect everyone else from the disease,” providing students with information technology devices. For students who did not have a computer, they are given from school, similar to the previous school year. Teachers, in turn, had courses on working with online tools in August. “We are ready to work remotely and hope to be able to resume full-time studies in two weeks and the autumn holidays,” added Buivida. Yuri Perevoshchikov, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases Risk Analysis and Prevention at the SPSP, informed on Wednesday that among these 23 educational institutions there are 16 schools, four kindergartens and three universities. In addition, a total of at least 34 children and 15 adults working in these institutions have been confirmed, according to an SPKC expert. , where local transmission takes place. In general, the number of affected institutions is relatively small, and, according to the epidemiologist, the current epidemiological security measures are working. However, Perevoshchikov urged that the face-to-face learning process be treated with caution, pointing out that face-to-face learning should be continued if possible.
