QPAT and the FSE-CSQ made the following recommendations with a view to keeping schools open and protecting the physical and mental health of teachers:
- Reduce wait times for COVID-19 testing to a minimum, for school staff members and students, by making the recently-approved rapid test units available in schools.
- Quickly adopt aeration and ventilation measures in schools. As recommended by numerous specialists, if a mechanical ventilation system is not available and the windows cannot be opened to allow air to circulate, mobile air purification systems should be installed in classrooms to make up for the lack of aeration.
- Explore school organization models that allow for the greatest possible physical distancing in schools, including in classrooms.
