Finland re-opened schools last week. Now they have found COVID-19 in 4 schools and set the pupils and staff in quarantine. Here in Sweden the schools and municipalities don& #39;t even inform families of corona infections in school though they still tell about lice and stomach flu. 1/
One exception to the rule is Kågeskolan in Skellefteå where a teacher died and 25% of the staff (18 people) tested positive. None of the pupils were tested. The school closed for a small while - due to lack of staff, not because of a quarantine. 2/8 https://www.lararen.se/nyheter/coronaviruset/efter-larardoden--nu-oppnar-kageskolan-igen">https://www.lararen.se/nyheter/c...

"Principal told the staff to keep the infections secret from parents. Principal doesn& #39;t want to comment and refers us to the head of education who says no preschools in Malmö informs parents about COVID-19: "We have a strict privacy policy." 1/2
"The staff wonders why they inform of stomach flu, pinworms and headlice which can be stigmatising for many families.
– We think the coronavirus spreads mostly among adults, not in all age groups, says the municipality& #39;s head of education." 2/3

People don& #39;t get informed of COVID-19 spreading in Swedish schools. There is no quarantine. You might hear about it if you know teachers, their families / parents of the pupils. Have you heard of the aforementioned or other school-related cases in Sweden? 8/8 #coronaSverige
This is a message from the education department of Stockholm and taken from a website of a school where someone died (some other schools have the same on their sites, too). Translation follows.
