Screening testing on 1 and 8 November 2021

The Government of the Czech Republic approved an emergency measure of the Ministry of Health, which implies that testing for covid-19 disease will take place in selected districts, including the České Budějovice district, on 1 and 8 November 2021.

Testing applies to unvaccinated pupils. It does not apply to vaccinated pupils (14 days after fully completed vaccination) and pupils who have had covid-19 (the protection period is valid for 180 days after the first positive test). In addition, pupils who provide evidence of a negative test result at the point of collection (validity of PCR test is 72 hours, validity of antigen test is 24 hours) are not required to be tested.

Testing will take place on 1 and 8 November at the beginning of the first lesson (0./1. period) in the respective class. If you are to be tested at 0. hour and arrive later, please come to the school secretariat (Mrs. Čalounová is in charge of testing). If you are to be tested in 1st period and arrive later or arrive at school on another day, please report to the schoolyard in the former driving school room (Mrs. Krištofová is in charge of testing).

Students who are to be tested go straight to their classroom when they arrive at school (they will go to the cloakroom after testing). Pupils must wear a respirator/mask until a negative test result is confirmed (except when taking a nasal sample).

In the case of a positive test, the pupil goes home (a pupil of legal age; a pupil who is not of legal age but has parental consent to go home). Underage pupils who do not have parental consent to go home on their own wait for their parents to arrive in the isolation room.
