    Hand sanitiser was alcohol free so of little use.

    THis could actually be incorrect as just read no info given. Curious

    Now the extra question will be how many students and staff will be considered close contacts?

    I won't be considered a close contact. My wife won't be considered a close contact. Most kids around the affected kid won't be considered a close contact. The teachers won't be considered a close contact. We know how this works.:rolleyes: But the text from the school has advised us to wait for the HSE to contact us.:rolleyes:

    The FDA stated that it is critical that anyone exposed to hand sanitizers that contain methanol seek treatment immediately to reverse the effects of methanol poisoning, which can potentially lead to nausea and vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, coma, nerve damage or death.

    That brand used methanol instead of ethanol. This is the reason for the recall and also the reason why schools that used it can close tomorrow if they want to.

    Sh1tshow doesn't even cover how the Dept has performed since March.

    Schools on distance learning for a bit now back in Czech Republic.

    "Distance learning has been gradually introduced at all schools across the country. Prymula previously argued that more and more students and teachers were getting infected. In September, more than 8,000 people, or 18 percent of those who tested positive, were infected at schools, according to UZIS data."

    COUNTY ROSCOMMON PRIMARY SCHOOL TO CLOSE TOMORROW AFTER COVID CASE
    THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2020
    FacebookTwitterEmailShare




    A County Roscommon primary school with a confirmed case of Covid-19 has taken the decision to close its doors tomorrow (Friday) after failing to receive any direction from the HSE.

    This evening the principal of the school contacted parents to say that she had received a call from a parent this evening alerting her to the fact that her child had tested positive for Covid-19. She immediately contacted the HSE at 4.30 p.m.. She gave the necessary details and was told that someone would be in contact with her.

    The principal remained at the school until after 9 p.m. tonight and had still received no contact. She told parents tonight that after numerous attempts to get answers from public health through helplines etc she failed to get advice.

    The principal added that in the interests of health and safety they had no choice but to close the school tomorrow.

    She has informed parents that as soon she gets any more official information she will contact them.

    The Roscommon Herald will update this story as soon as further details become available.

    I hope they all get well but how are 27 players training outside classed as close contacts and 30 pupils, a teacher, SNA and other staff indoors in a room for 5 hours minimum, that a covid+ student comes in contact with, are not classed close contacts?

    https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2020/1022/1173335-27-offaly-players-deemed-close-contacts-due-to-training/

    In a statement, Offaly GAA said that it had expected panel members would have been deemed ‘casual contacts’ rather than ‘close contacts’ of the player who tested positive for Covid-19, as per regulations governing outdoor training sessions since games resumed in the summer.

    "Offaly GAA County Board officers have liaised with GAA officials in Croke Park since this issue arose on Wednesday afternoon," the statement said.

    "Our preferred option was for a postponement of the game, but we understand that this course of action is not possible as all GAA Championships must be completed in a short timeframe.

    "We hope to participate in the second round of the Christy Ring Cup on the weekend of 7/8 November, when the players who are self-isolating will hopefully be available. They are currently availing of the GAA’s rapid testing facility."

    As the players have been deemed 'close' rather than 'casual' contacts, even if they test negative they will still have to restrict their movements until 14 days have passed.
