The health workers alert to an “unprecedented wave” of minors affected by the multisystemic inflammatory syndrome associated with coronavirus.
A letter signed by 50 health workers from all over France demanded the French Government to postpone the return to school, whose return is scheduled for January 3, 2022, because the new wave of covid aggravates “the unprecedented increase” of the inflammatory syndrome multisystemic among the youngest.
The letter, published in the Jornal de Dimanche (JDD), aims to influence the meeting of the Sanitary Council and the Council of Ministers that are held this Monday 27 and whose purpose is to take new measures that serve to stop the explosion of contamination, that already exceed 100,000 a day in full swing of the omicron variant.
The 50 health professionals, including pediatricians, ICU specialists, generalists, infectologists, nurses or university professors, warned that since November more than 300,000 children and adolescents have been infected.
As a result, hospitalizations of children exceed those of the previous waves, with more than 800 of less than 10 years, while that of adolescents stands at 300, “figures that do not stop growing.”
The health workers alert to an “unprecedented wave” of minors affected by the multisystemic inflammatory syndrome associated with coronavirus, characterized by fever, digestive symptoms and cardiovascular disorders and considered the first cause of the admission of minors in ucis.
“The latest study by the team led by Vittoria Colizza (INSERM research director and specialist in infectious disease modeling) estimates that the virus circulates more in schools than in other sectors,” says the letter.
Health professionals recognize “the indisputable role of the school”, but criticize the Ministry of Education for not having done enough to “stop the epidemic in schools”, such as the lack of air filters or a test campaign ” effective”.
The signatories of the initiative demand that the Executive launch the tools of distance education until the pollution indicators “return to the limits considered safe by the health authorities.” (I)
