Ventilation for NSW schools
Urgently address the ventilation upgrades required for NSW schools to reduce the risks of COVID-19 transmission for students and staff.
Why is this important?
We want the kids back to school. We want our schools to be safe. My kids contracted COVID-19 at school despite current COVID Safe measures. Ventilation in schools has been highlighted as a key factor in mitigating the risk of airborne transmission. Vaccination is only part of the solution.
Expert groups such as OzSAGE have expressed concern over the current Department of Education ventilation strategies (mainly opening windows).
Our kids and teachers deserve the same attention to air quality as our Politicians.
