Salmonella epidemic complicates the start of the school year in Prague's Újezd nad Lesy
The start of the school year at the primary school in the Újezd nad Lesy district of Prague will be accompanied by complications. The reason is a recent salmonella epidemic that affected this educational institution and necessitated extensive sanitary measures.
The school has undergone a thorough cleaning and complete disinfection of all buildings to prevent the further spread of the infection. Although the premises are now hygienically safe, the school administration is facing further operational problems that will affect teaching in the first days of September.
The biggest difficulty is ensuring a sufficient number of teaching staff. Due to illness and subsequent quarantine, it is unclear how many teachers will be able to start at the school in the very first week of the school year. The school administration is therefore currently searching intensively for solutions to ensure instruction for all students.
Health officials continue to monitor the situation in Újezd nad Lesy and are overseeing compliance with all safety rules. Parents of students will be informed about the current status and any potential changes to the schedule via the school's information system.
