December 21, 2020, 12 PM – "School during the Pandemic and the Pandemic during School".
In addition to the vulnerable groups of high-risk patients we are familiar with, there is another group that has been in the news lately: Children. Are they secret drivers of the pandemic? Asymptomatic but highly contagious? Or are they victims of the lockdowns? No school? No education? No future? On Monday, JKU Rector Lukas talks with microbiologist Michael Wagner - head of studies regarding the oral rinse - and education specialiast Christoph Helm.
