Hamburg (dpa / lno) – There are individual bottlenecks in Hamburg schools due to corona-related failures of teachers. School Senator Ties Rabe (SPD) admitted that on Tuesday at NDR 90.3. The actual number of teachers affected by Corona is so small that it can be compensated. “In fact, it is much more difficult that many – which is not a bad thing – stay at home if they have a cold.” Sometimes “half a college is quarantined” if an infected student has been in contact with a particularly large number of teachers.
Then it could happen that students have to study at home for four days, said Rabe. “But we, as the school authority, try to take countermeasures and restart school operations as quickly as possible.”
Overall, the risk for teachers of becoming infected in school is low with a rate of 9: 1. “That means that out of 10 teachers infected, only one was infected at school, almost all of them at home.” The number of teachers belonging to the risk group is also comparatively low in Hamburg. “That all adds up to maybe two percent, three percent of all teachers,” said Rabe.
