New viral case this time in , he appeared in school, causing trouble to teachers, students and their parents. The student of Volos primary school was diagnosed with viral meningitis which is fortunately treated as a simple infection as it is well in his health. CORVERSE The main symptoms of viral meningitis are headache fever, neck stiffness and disorders of the level of consciousness. Parents of the students, gathered on Tuesday morning (04.02.2020) outside Volos primary school in order to protest the incident and claim the disinfection of the site and medical checks on their children, reports gegonotanews. On Wednesday they are expected to protest in Primary for the inclusion of meningitis B vaccines, in the National Vaccination Programme, which will concern everyone without terms and conditions. ADVERSION “It is necessary, because of the severity of this disease, to take additional measures to protect the health of our children, our families, teachers and school workers (cleaner, nurse),” the parents of the students say. The parents’ announcement “The instructions of the EODY do not reassure us as they are mainly limited to suggestions for “washing hands and ventilation of classes”. Let alone that parents were informed after school hours ended for the incident, although the school was informed in time, resulting in children being exposed throughout the day today. And not only. Students from another department made use of the hall that hosts the fourth grade without any measure taken. We are even more concerned as in our school there are found gaps in cleanliness. Since the beginning of the year we have addressed the Municipality of Volos for the need of extra cleaners to meet all needs as a cleaning woman (who does what she can) is not enough, resulting in the proper cleaning of rooms- toilets-surfaces cannot be done. In these circumstances, it is not possible for those responsible to be treated down to this level. Therefore, by decision of the Board, we will submit the following requests tomorrow to the Primary Directorate of Magnesia: To carry out even late school disinfection. To carry out medical checks under the responsibility of the EOPI, the students of the D class, preventive measures, if and if necessary, to students and teachers who came into contact with the case. To strengthen our school directly with additional cleaners in order to meet the standard need for school cleaning that is of utmost importance to everyone’s hygiene. In view of the other incidents that have occurred in other parts of the country, we express the need to include vaccination for meningitis B directly into the National Vaccination Program universally for all unconditional and conditional and available for free to all. (it is currently only given for children under 2 years of age, while for the next age groups the dose is 100 euros and over). Our concern is the health of our children. Parents prepare a protest tomorrow at 8.30 in the Primary Division.”
