Tzanakis to SKAI: How 7 out of 10 children got protected – The role of “50 +1”

by

The reasons why opening of schools after Easter is done with “Relative security”, explained o Professor of Pulmonology Nikos Tzanakis, speaking on SKAI TV and the show “Unmatched”.

Mr. Tzanakis stressed that because of her of Directive 50 + 1 for the closure of sections due to coronavirus, a large limit, the his team simulations calculate that perhaps 60% of students have been infected in the past. At the same time, according to the professor, many children have been vaccinated and other have been vaccinated and become ill at the same time and “So we have a lot of hybrid immunoprotection in schools and I think we are relatively safe.”.

“We have to say about the schools, that because we actually took the measure to close at 50% and above, in essence we left the children to get sick, to get infected. That’s what we did. It’s a public health strategy that can be debated, but you can’t go wrong. “And at the moment we have around 60% to 70% of children immunoprotected, either because they were vaccinated, or because they got sick, or because of the combination of vaccination and disease,” the professor explained.

To the question of whether it should stop being the mask is mandatory in schools, Mr. Tzanakis replied that they should never relax two serious measures at the same time, and how this can be addressed once the footprint of reduced epidemiological surveillance in schools has been established.

He also advised parents to check their children with the slightest symptom that they will show in the upper respiratory tract or if they come in contact with a case.
