From: Julia Schiller
Dear Ministry of Education,
I write on behalf of Aotearoa Covid Action.
We note with interest the Ministry's plan to retrofit schools to created walled classrooms. This presents an opportunity to slow the spread of airborne illnesses. Are there concurrent written plans to provide adequate ventilation and air purification in order to meet international standards for indoor air quality, and if so, can you provide them?
Yours faithfully,
Julia Schiller
Coordinating Group for Aotearoa Covid Action
