Salzburg tends to do without Covid-positive teachers
At the moment one is still in coordination with other federal states or state medical and education directorates. “But we will rather deviate from the federal solution,” said a spokesman for state councilor Daniela Gutschi (ÖVP) in the “Salzburger Nachrichten” (Thursday edition).
Vienna and Burgenland on the other hand
Vienna and Burgenland, on the other hand, have already announced that Corona-positive teachers will not be in the classrooms at compulsory schools. In the compulsory school sector, the federal states are employers (unlike at the AHS and BMHS) and can therefore decide.
Other federal states waiting
Carinthia is also tending in this direction, but initially wants to wait for the specific school regulations announced by the Ministry of Education at the end of August. Other federal states also want to wait for this, according to an APA broadcast last week. Tyrol and Vorarlberg, on the other hand, have already announced that they will have symptom-free corona positives taught with a mask.
According to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, asymptomatic corona infected people can go to work if they wear an FFP2 mask. At the beginning of the week, Education Minister Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) confirmed that this should also apply to teachers.
