PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION SHEET CAREFULLY
Information for Parents and Other Legal Guardians pursuant to Section 34 (5), Sentence 2 of the German Infection Protection Act (IfSG)
If your child has a contagious disease and attends a school or another community institution (GE) that they currently attend or are about to attend, they may infect other children, teachers, educators, or caregivers. In addition, infants and children are particularly vulnerable during an infectious illness and may develop secondary illnesses (complications).
To prevent this, we would like to use this information sheet to inform you about your obligations, appropriate conduct, and the usual procedures required under the Infection Protection Act. In this context, you should know that infectious diseases are generally not caused by poor cleanliness or carelessness. Therefore, we ask for your openness and cooperation based on mutual trust.
The law stipulates that your child may not attend school or another community institution if:
- They are suffering from a serious infection caused by a small amount of pathogens. These include diphtheria, cholera, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and diarrhea caused by EHEC bacteria. Such diseases are generally only encountered as isolated cases in Germany. (The law also mentions viral hemorrhagic fevers, plague, and poliomyelitis. However, it is extremely unlikely that these pathogens are transmitted in Germany.)
- They have an infectious disease that may, in individual cases, take a severe or complicated course, such as whooping cough, measles, mumps, scarlet fever, chickenpox, meningitis caused by Hib bacteria, meningococcal infections, scabies, contagious impetigo (bacterial skin infection), hepatitis A, or bacterial dysentery.
- They have a head lice infestation and treatment has not yet been completed.
- Before reaching the age of six, they are suffering from infectious gastroenteritis or there is a corresponding suspicion of such illness.
The routes of transmission of the diseases listed above vary.
Many cases of diarrhea and hepatitis A are so-called smear infections. Transmission occurs through inadequate hand hygiene, contaminated food, and only rarely through contaminated objects (towels, furniture, toys).
Droplet infections or airborne infections include, for example, measles, mumps, chickenpox, and whooping cough.
Hair, skin, and mucous membrane contact can transmit scabies, lice, and contagious impetigo.
This explains that community facilities (CF) provide particularly favorable conditions for the transmission of the mentioned diseases. Therefore, we ask you to always consult your family doctor or pediatrician in the case of serious illnesses of your child (for example, high fever, noticeable fatigue, repeated vomiting, diarrhea lasting more than one day, and other worrying symptoms).
If there is a suspicion of illness or once a diagnosis has been made, your doctor will inform you whether your child has an illness that, according to the Infection Protection Act, prohibits attendance at the CF.
If a child must stay at home or even be treated in a hospital, please notify us immediately and also inform us of the diagnosis, so that together with the health department we can take all necessary measures to prevent the further spread of the infectious disease.
Many infectious diseases have in common that infection can occur before typical symptoms appear. This means that your child may have already infected playmates, classmates, or staff by the time they have to stay home with the first signs of illness. In such a case, we must inform the parents of the other children anonymously about the presence of a contagious disease.
Sometimes children or adults only carry pathogens without becoming ill. In some cases, pathogens are still excreted in the stool or transmitted in droplets when coughing and through exhaled air for a long time after the illness has passed. This means there is a risk of infecting playmates, classmates, or staff. According to the Infection Protection Act, ‚carriers‘ of cholera, diphtheria, EHEC, typhoid, paratyphoid, and shigellosis bacteria may only return to a CF with permission and after instruction from the health department.
Even if someone in your household suffers from a severe or highly contagious infectious disease, other household members may have already taken up these pathogens and may excrete them without becoming ill themselves. In this case, your child must also stay at home.
Your attending physician or the health department can inform you when a ban on attending school or another CF applies to carriers or a possibly infected but not ill child. In both of these cases, you must also notify us.
Vaccinations are available against diphtheria, measles, mumps, (rubella), polio, typhoid, and hepatitis A. If protection is present, the health department can, in individual cases, lift the attendance ban immediately. Please remember that optimal vaccination protection benefits both the individual and the community.
If you have any further questions, please contact your family doctor, pediatrician, or health department. We are also happy to help you.
Erlass zur Sicherheit im Schulsport
Decree for Safety in School Sports
- When participating in school sports, appropriate sportswear must be ensured, which allows both safe practice for students and unobstructed assistance and safety measures. For school sports, the following are particularly required:
- Sports shoes with soles suitable for the respective conditions of the sports halls
- Sports trousers and sports shirts
- For outdoor sports, weather-appropriate sportswear
- Before the start of the lesson or practice session, students must remove all items that could endanger the accident-free and injury-free conduct of the lesson. This includes:
- Watches
- Jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, ear studs, piercings)
- Keys
- Belts
- Students who wear glasses should use sports-appropriate glasses. Hair that, due to its length, poses a danger or impairs the student’s field of vision and could thus cause an accident must be appropriately secured.
- Sportspecific regulations can be found in the folder „Safe School Sports.“
Notes on the Implementation of the Decree on Safety in School Sports from May 28, 2010, Ministerial Gazette of the SMK p. 316, Ref.: 24-6860.40/56/3
- The persons with parental authority must be appropriately informed in a documented manner about the decree on safety in school sports as well as these implementation notes, and the students must be instructed annually.
- Students may only participate fully in physical education and other school sports activities if all hazardous items have been removed from the body without exception.
- If the removal of hazardous items that do not require surgery is refused, this can, according to the respective school regulations, lead to an insufficient performance assessment due to refusal to perform or failure to provide performance in learning objective assessments conducted in physical education. If this refusal to perform continues throughout the school year, the grade „insufficient“ must be given as the annual grade in physical education. This means that promotion to the next grade level or the awarding of a school leaving certificate is not possible. The physical education teacher should, with the involvement of the school administration, clearly explain the consequences of the student’s refusal to the persons with parental authority and the affected students, and document the result of the consultation.
- Students and their persons with parental authority must be informed annually and in a documented manner that hazardous items that can only be removed surgically (e.g., jewelry implants) or not without damage (e.g., significantly extended fingernails) may not be worn on the body for the duration of school and training. Students who, after documented instruction, deliberately avoid active participation in physical education by attaching jewelry firmly connected to the body will be graded as „insufficient“ according to the applicable school regulations.
- For students who, at the time of the first documented instruction at the beginning of the 2012/2013 school year, are already wearing an item that cannot be removed or can only be removed surgically, the school principal decides, after a thorough risk assessment, whether and under what conditions the student may participate in physical education, possibly with restrictions. The Saxony Accident Insurance Fund reserves the right, in the event of an injury, to make recourse claims against those responsible at the school after settling treatment costs, if the injury is due to wearing jewelry. If the principal decides that the student cannot actively participate in physical education, the following regulations apply:
- Middle school: passive participation in physical education and report card entry „exempted.“
- Grammar school/Vocational grammar school: selection of a substitute course with assessment.
- Vocational school: passive participation in physical education and report card entry „exempted.“
6. Students who wear tunnels, plugs, or expanders must remove them before physical education. The resulting opening in the skin must be completely closed with a silicone or rubber plug.
7. As part of the instruction, students must be informed that the Saxony Accident Insurance Fund reserves the right to make recourse claims if the cause of an injury in school sports is due to wearing jewelry on concealed parts of the body.
