“It all started on Wednesday, December 1, with the absence of a second year student,” said a staff member from Ms. de Staël high school in Montluçon. A student testing positive for Covid-19 two days later.
“The parents of this student called one of the CPEs, Friday, December 3, at the very beginning of the afternoon, to inform them of their daughter’s condition. Logic would then have wanted the information to be given to the students in his class as well as to the boarding students since this student is boarder. But nothing… ”, regrets the personal.
Incidence rate, situation in hospitals, vaccination: update on the 5th wave of Covid-19 in the Allier
“No student went to be tested”
She explains that it was only Tuesday, December 7, at the turn of the exchange of messages between the positive student and the class representative that this information was shared.
“No one had informed the students. This really shocked some young people and several staff. No prevention has been done. As a result, during this time, no student went to be tested. “

What arouse the anger of this personal. “It’s absurd not to communicate on positive cases!” Not to inform students of the same class. We will never get out of this situation if it continues like this. Especially since the establishment has recorded an increase in the number of cases for a few days. [une information confirmée par l’établissement, NDLR]. »
A protocol followed to the letter
But for the principal Béatrice Dufour, all of the “procedures defined by the Government” were respected. She explains: “We have a well-defined procedure. When there is a positive case, we look for the contact cases [une mission confiée au service infirmier de l’établissement en collaboration avec le service vie scolaire, NDLR]. These contact cases are determined by very specific criteria ”.
And only these people are informed by the establishment. Different other procedures then follow depending on the situation (if the person is vaccinated, if they are not, if they have had the Covid in the last two months).
“We respect protocol. “

“When there is a proven case, there is no need to alert the ban and the backbench. We do not disseminate the information to everyone. Especially since we are talking about a person’s health, this is in the private sphere. “
