The "JKU Coronavirus Update" series features academics and scientists speaking frankly and in laymen's terms. In a conversation with JKU Rector Meinhard Lukas, they talk about the virus, analyze the impact, and - from a health, scientific, technological, social, economic and legal perspective - discuss the safety mandates designed to prevent the spread of the virus. Renowned experts share their expertise in the fight to combat the Coronavirus pandemic.
The JKU Coronavirus Update series is a live, 30-minute conversation (in German only). The current pandemic serves as the discussion topic. The discussions feature JKU academics and scientists as well as guests from other universities. Each installment will initially be broadcast live and then the recording will be available to watch at your convenience.
The JKU Coronavirus Update
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.
