SYRIZA leader expresses concern over the spread of the virus in schools
Main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Alexis Tsipras, in a meeting with the teachers federation on Friday, stressed the need to take measures to limit the number of pupils in each class and change the protocol of 50% + 1 due to the rapid spread of cases within schools.
"We are proposing that, in addition to being open, our schools are also safe," Tsipras said, expressing concern that "a large part of the spread of the virus based on official data comes from schools," as 25 pct of cases concern children. He said that according to official data, in November alone there were 45,000 cases involving school children.
As he said, although the majority of children are asymptomatic or not seriously ill, this situation carries very serious risks for the spread of the virus in the community, because "children who are carriers of the virus are in contact with grandparents."
