They reported that one of the teachers had been diagnosed with an open form of tuberculosis. "We were told that only two classes where she taught are subject to examination. However, the teacher also interacted with other students and school staff, and used common facilities," the parents noted.
The parents called for disinfection of the entire building and an inspection by the sanitary service, as this has not yet occurred. "We do not understand why the information was provided with a delay and why all necessary measures are not being taken. We want the responsible authorities to pay attention to the situation, come to the school, conduct disinfection, and clarify the situation for the parents. The safety of our children is the most important thing," they added.
The editorial office of Kaktus.media requested a comment from the Center for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance. Chief Physician Kuban Kundašev reported that all children who had contact with the sick teacher had been identified and are undergoing examination. He also noted that disinfection at the school was carried out over the weekend. "The teacher worked with eighth-grade classes. All these students are now under observation. Contacts have been established, and work is ongoing. If there was no close contact, no additional measures will be required," Kundašev assured, adding that other parents need not worry: all necessary measures have been implemented.
