The extension of distance education for schoolchildren in Moscow will help avoid tightening antiquated measures. A cardiologist, TV presenter, chief physician of the city clinical hospital 71 Alexander Myasnikov wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
“As I understand it, the Moscow authorities are now balancing on the brink of toughening the measures being taken, trying with all their might to avoid this. It is in the context of this that this decree should be taken. Children of elementary grades have younger parents, and grandparents are not even at risk, and it is more important to study them not even in “sciences”, but in social communication. But teenage high school students are already more conscious, they should already be able to concentrate and perceive information, even if remotely. Yes - adolescents themselves practically do not get sick, but their grandparents are already at risk. Namely, this group of patients is the island contingent of hospital beds in Moscow hospitals. I personally perceive this decree as the last attempt to refrain from tougher measures, which we all do not want and are afraid of,”the doctor writes.
On the morning of November 5, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced on his website that at the beginning of November the situation with coronavirus in the city began to worsen again, in connection with which it was decided to extend distance education for students in grades 6-11 for another two weeks - from 9 to November 22.
