Opposition: ‘Ill-advised’ decisions could lead to school closures
Faulty government measures could lead to the mass closure of schools, according to the opposition Democratic Coalition.
The government has failed to introduce “enforceable” protocols in schools; neither has it provided face masks or desinfectants in sufficient quantities, Gergely Arató, the party’s deputy group leader, told an online press conference on Thursday.
Moreover, the government has not made arrangements for the timely testing of teachers with Covid-19 symptoms or their contracts, he said, adding that several teachers had been forced to isolate themselves due to a lack of timely testing.
This, together with the government’s blithe attitute to testing and contact tracing, could lead to school shut-downs, he insisted.
