WORK IN SCHOOLS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND A METHOD FOR CHILDREN TESTING ON COVID-19 VIRUS

info Leave a comment

Organization of work in schools during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus directly depends on the number of students and teachers infected. Among health workers and especially in public, there has been a general belief that children below 18 years of age are not an endangered part of the population to Coronavirus. However, although it may be true, it is premature to make such a conclusion, because appropriate tests have
not supported it. 

The main reason is that a complete enigma is the population of children in schools who have not shown any symptoms, but are infected and can transmit the virus. Prof. Aleksandar Zunjic has published the paper
below in the IETI Transactions on Ergonomics and Safety journal and studies this
problem in detail and provides insight into many aspects of the effects of the
Coronavirus that are not obvious.

In conclusion, the paper proposes a new, fast and economically viable method for
testing students on the CVOVID-19 virus.

METHOD FOR CHILDREN TESTING ON COVID-1

IETI Transactions on Ergonomics and Safety special issue addresses COVID-19

Following the consistent striving of the FEES, IEA, and our ergonomics community on the prevention of the pandemic, we wish to inform you that recently has been published a special issue of the Following the consistent striving of the FEES, IEA, and our ergonomics community on prevention of the pandemic, we wish to inform you that recently has been published a special issue of the IETI Transactions on Ergonomics and Safety journal.

IETI Transactions on Ergonomics and Safety serves ergonomics in the limitation of virus spreading and alleviation of pandemic effects. 

This IETI Transactions on Ergonomics and Safety special issue addresses COVID-19 virus first in any international journal from the domain of ergonomics. Together with other exciting matters here, you can find why the role of ergonomics is essential when it comes to the prevention of spreading the COVID-19 virus at workplaces.
