双语|冬季抗疫需开窗通风 德国学校建议学生带毯子上学
带着毯子去上学?别以为是学校组织露营,这是德国学校的校长们发布的建议。因为新冠疫情持续,政府要求学校定期开窗通风,但是随着天气转凉,开窗的教室难免有些冷,所以校长要求学生穿得暖暖的、戴着帽子手套上课。
Schools in Germany are advising pupils to bring blankets to class and wear hats, coats and scarves during lessons as part of the fight against the coronavirus.

Head teachers have issued the advice in response to new government guidelines that require schools to ventilate classrooms by opening the windows every twenty minutes.
新的政府指导意见要求学校每20分钟要开窗通风一次,为此各校长发布了这一建议。
Leaving the windows open a crack is not enough. Schools have been told to open classroom windows fully for three to five minutes, and to open doors as well when possible so air can circulate.
窗户只开一条缝是不够的。政府要求学校每次要保持教室窗户大开长达3到5分钟,如果可能的话也要打开门,以保持空气流通。

冬天气温通常是零下好几度,谁都能想象到开窗通风情况下教室会有多冷。

But she accused regional governments of failing to plan adequately for the cold months and said if they’d had more warning schools could have put up plastic shields between pupils to avoid infection.
