Rospotrebnadzor took control of the temperature in children's institutions
Experts and specialists of Rospotrebnadzor took control temperature conditions in children's institutions - schools, kindergartens, polyclinics, etc. Such a measure has matured in connection with the onset of cold weather.
Specialists within two weeks intend to visit all institutions in which there are children, and spend assessment of hygienic standards of air temperature, check the health of heating systems.
Heads of children's institutions are obliged to strictly observe certain sanitary rules in order to take care of the health of children on their premises.
By law, in preschool institutions (kindergartens, classes of early development, sections for preschool children), the air temperature in winter should be within 21-23 degrees Celsius. In rooms where children sleep at a quiet hour, below - at the level of 19-20 degrees. In schools, the temperature should be maintained at 18-24 degrees.
In children's hospitals and year-round children's sanatoriums, it is recommended to maintain the temperature at a level of 20-26 degrees. In the playrooms of orphanages should be slightly below 20 degrees. In institutions with a stay of children with disabilities - 20-22 degrees of heat.
Rospotrebnadzor specialists remind us that during the cold season dangerous viruses spread especially quickly in closed children's groups. The higher the air temperature in the room, the more likely mass infection.
That is why the upper limit of the temperature range is limited by the limit value. Below the recommended temperature, too, can not fall, otherwise children may freeze and catch a cold.
The leaders of the children's institutions received letters with the recommendations of sanitary officers.
In addition to the air temperature, they are strongly recommended to pay attention to the humidity of the air (the more humid it is, the less likely the spread of viruses is, the recommended range is 50-70%). It is also recommended to air more often the game rooms, bedrooms and classrooms.
Parents or grandparents may report violations of the temperature sanitary regime in a particular institution at hotline of its territorial office of Rospotrebnadzor. To find the corresponding phone number, you need to specify in the Internet search the name of the region after the word "Rospotrebnadzor".
