Ireland is similarly keen to keep schools open.
Children from age 5 upwards are being vaccinated as of today, and the main focus in school buildings is on getting adequate ventilation and HEPA filters into classrooms. Contact tracing in schools has been not been a priority, for better or for worse.
The will is there, and there's money available to spend, but the implementation has been a bit less than stellar.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoYeah,I just don't get why we stopped contact tracing schools. Well I do actually, it was causing so much disruption that it made in person schooling almost impossible. HEPA filters seem like an obvious win, but there's clearly a bunch of RCT extremists in NPHET ;)
- klyrs 5y agoI've got a kid in grade 1, and I honestly don't know how contact tracing is supposed to work. Ten minutes after talking to grandma, if you ask him who he's spoken to today, he can't remember. If you ask him what he talked to grandma about, it's a mix of truth and fiction. He doesn't know the names of many classmates. Contact tracing depends on reliable narrators -- young children are far from that. I do wish that we'd have something though. Our local government has just given up altogether.
