As winter approaches and schools begin to close doors and windows, the Andrews Labor Government is more than doubling the number of air purifiers in schools to keep students and staff safer and slow the spread of coronavirus.
\nMinister for Education James Merlino has announced the rollout of an additional 60,000 air purifiers, on top of the 51,000 already delivered before the beginning of Term 1, which will see a purifier in every
\nsingle classroom, instead of just high-risk areas of schools.
\n\u201cOur students have returned to face-to-face learning in 2022 safely and successfully \u2013 and we\u2019re supporting that to
\ncontinue, with more purifiers for classrooms to complement our other vital COVIDSafe measures,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cThis is the largest investment in school ventilation in the nation \u2013 no other state is taking such strong steps to protect students, staff and school communities.\u201d
\nAfter an open tender process, Samsung has been awarded the contract for the additional purifiers \u2013 matching the Samsung devices that have already been successfully delivered and used in schools across the state.
\nThis winter allocation will provide enough purifiers to cover all classrooms and other high-risk spaces in all government and low-fee non-government schools by the beginning of winter \u2013 including general purpose
\nclassrooms and other specialist classrooms such as art and science rooms.
\nOf the 111,000 air purifiers, a few thousand purifiers will be kept in storage after winter begins to be distributed to schools whose enrolments increase or who commission extra classrooms throughout the second half of the year.<\/p>\n
