The Czechs have been living with the coronavirus pandemic for almost a year. Unfortunately, the numbers have not improved significantly in recent weeks, and the situation is deteriorating due to the British mutation. The city district of Prague 22, which includes Uhříněves, Pitkovice and Hájek u Uhříněvsi, also knows about this. She said on her Facebook page that Currently, there are the most people infected with covid-19 per thousand inhabitants from all over Prague. According to the website of the hygienic station, over 80 infected people came here on Wednesday and Thursday, currently 245 people were fighting covid-19 on Friday.

According to the City District, there are some outbreaks in kindergartens, where children do not have to wear a veil, so the potential spread is spreading fast. It is also to blame that some parents do not let their children be tested, even though they have symptoms or have covid in the vicinity, and send them on to kindergarten. The disease thus spreads through classmates to other families. “During the last week, the incidence of covid 19 in Prague 22 has increased significantly and There are several outbreaks in kindergartens. However, there are few children in the quarantine because they do not go for tests. Please, if you suspect the covid 19 disease or it has appeared in your area, take the covid 19 test with your children, “the town hall wrote on Facebook.

“If you have not been in contact with an infected person and the test is negative, you do not need to be quarantined and the child can go back to kindergarten after the symptoms have subsided. With a responsible approach, you will prevent the constant closure of classes due to teachers’ illnesses and area quarantines, “added the city district.

If covid -19 infection occurs in kindergarten, whether in children or teachers, the entire class automatically quarantines the hygiene regulations. “Finally, everyone must undergo a PCR test on the fifth to seventh day, but no later than the tenth day. If positivity is confirmed, the quarantine lasts 10 days, On day 10, the PCR test is performed again. If it is negative and the child is asymptomatic, he or she can return to kindergarten, “Dana Šalamunová, a spokeswoman for the regional hygiene station, explained to Bleska, noting that such a procedure is the same throughout the country.

Fear of spawning?

Some parents do not want to test their children for fear that someone will “poke their noses”. At present, however, there are other variants and a smear of the nasopharynx of the oral cavity is not necessary, the management of the town hall. “Our two kindergarten children go for tests at intervals of two weeks, so I can advise parents that they take from the neck right here in Uhříněvesi, “Markéta Š. advised the other parents. All you have to do is talk about a throat swab.

City Hall is also considering taking kindergarten tests. “A meeting will take place on Monday, where the following procedure should be agreed. The city is currently considering purchasing test kits for self-collectors, “said Petra Vaňková, spokeswoman for Prague 22, to Blesk.

Blesk also contacted Sluneční Kindergarten, but its director Renáta Pecáková refused to comment on the grounds that the schools were preparing a joint statement, which she provides on Monday.

Irresponsible behavior

Several parents also found that other parents were irresponsible, quite offended. “The behavior of irresponsible parents has lifted me up, although I don’t think that without them, it would not spread in kindergartens. I myself was now convinced by my son that he was coughing because he was uncomfortable. But of course he passed the test and is negativeí, just caught a cold. Not only did the doctor send him for tests, but my conscience wouldn’t even let me have it tested, when she goes to kindergarten, “Monika Vocelová told Blesk.

Mrs. Vocelová also praises the Za Nadýmačem kindergarten, where her son goes, and I think that measures are being taken here. “Our kindergarten seems to be following the measures, from September to now, the boy did not exceptionally bring noodles from there, and fortunately not covid. There have been two quarantines in our class since December, with about two children positive during the first quarantine, in January there was only a teacher, no child’s illness. In both cases, the class was closed for about a week. Probably still good for that misery, or nothing that would surprise me. I rather expected it to get worse. However, what is not can be, “she added.
