Quarantine in the kindergarten. Under what conditions is it introduced and when is it canceled?

Heads of pre-school establishments take all measures to prevent the spread of infections. Quarantine in kindergarten is one way to protect kids from viral and parasitic diseases. Parents are worried about the question: if the child was left at home, then at whose expense is the payment to a sick mother or father.

What do I need to know?

Medical official statistics are used to control outbreaks of disease among the population. Educational institutions are guided by the orders of the administration of the locality. But in their duties, the leaders of kindergartens are obliged to take all measures to prevent the spread of infections among toddlers.

The period for which quarantine is declared in kindergarten depends on the following factors:

• From the type of disease: flu, colds, parasites.
• The number of patients: in case of influenza, the institution closes when more than 20% of children are on sick leave. With parasitic infections, one ill child already leads to quarantine.

Parents are informed of the number of the order, on the basis of which the work of the institution stops. Also, the actions of the administration should be similar at the first suspicion of infection.

Duration of restrictions

The time at which the quarantine will be declared in the kindergarten is calculated based on the type of illness. The term of the incubation period is important - the first symptoms appear much later than the transmission of the infection itself.

So determine the following terms, depending on the type of illness:

• Week - with diseases of influenza, scarlet fever, viral meningitis, intestinal infection.
• Three weeks - with chickenpox, mumps, rubella.
• 10 days - with meningococcal infection.

If the kindergarten is closed for quarantine, parents are encouraged to closely monitor their child. After all, he could pick up the disease from an infectious baby. When the incubation period passes, clinical symptoms will appear. In such cases, doctors prescribe preventive treatment.

Child at home. Parents can not go to work?

Quarantine in a kindergarten is an excuse for rest only for those mothers and dads who have not yet turned 7 years old. Doctors are obliged to issue a sick leave in the clinic after providing a certificate from the epidemiologist. Controversial issues are dealt with by the health department or Roszdravnadzor.

Often kindergarten workers can recommend where to apply for a certificate and a hospital in connection with quarantine. Payments on the sheet are similar in the situation of caring for a sick child. However, there are no restrictions on the duration of the law. While children are sitting at home, an adult is given a benefit.

Payments for the sick leave are not the same for everyone, the amount of compensation depends on the length of service. Parents can choose whom to stay at home with their child, mom or dad, depending on the benefits:

• Up to 5 years of service is paid no more than 60%.
• Up to 8 years - from 80%.
• At the experience of more than 8 years it is paid in full.

If there is a prolongation of the quarantine, payments are saved.

Measures to protect healthy babies

After the group was closed for quarantine, restrictions are imposed on visiting children's rooms and grounds by other children. Epidemiologists prohibit educators from creating such risky situations. The rest is strengthened monitoring of hygiene and sanitary rules.

The ban includes all activities that include mass gatherings of groups in the kindergarten. These include musical performances, sports competitions. In the premises workers are obliged to carry out daily wet cleaning with the use of detergents - in the morning and in the evening.

Methods of disinfection of premises are applied: quartz, treatment of toys and dishes in the dining room with antiseptics. Periodically, airing rooms during the absence of the group for walks or dinner. Address for violations should be directly to the head or health worker institution.

Controversial issues

The extension of the quarantine does not affect the payments and terms of the sick-list. However, there are times when there are problems with the attending physician. To solve them it is possible having communicated with the head of medical institution. If no result ensued, the complaint is made to the Ministry of Health.

Quarantine in Moscow's gardens is introduced periodically in epidemiological seasons. Children who visit the group where the sick child was registered are advised to stay at home. Contact with other babies is prohibited for an incubation period. If the baby is found healthy, instead of the hospital, they can offer to transfer to another group.

During the incubation period, children may not be taken. There is a controversial situation when the child was on vacation with his parents during the quarantine. When entering the garden, educators are not allowed to refuse, they must take him to another group. But if the manager has a suspicion about the contact of the baby with the sick, then take it categorically prohibited.

Recommendations of the epidemiologist

Children who are prone to outbreaks are given periodic medical examinations. In the group, new patients are admitted only after examination by a doctor and with the presence of vaccinations. Mass events are conducted by a limited number of people. Obligatory informing of parents about the introduction of special measures, when they detected one ill child. This applies to parasitic and other dangerous infections.

Viral manifestations of influenza are important only for mass distribution. In quarantine, many parents neglect the child's isolation. The children go out into the yard, they come in contact with healthy children. It is recommended to observe extreme precautions for the patient and others around the time of the incubation period.

The parents do not have to vaccinate, but the manager will refuse to visit the kindergarten legally. Therefore, to put the vaccine to your baby or not is a personal matter for everyone. In the normative acts measures are prescribed for the protection of children from epidemics. If there is a disregard for the duties of employees, you should file a complaint with Rospotrebnadzor.
