Five schoolchildren got eye burns from a quartz lamp in Novosibirsk … The incident is reported by the Telegram-channel “Podyom” with reference to the regional children's ombudsman Nadezhda Boltenko.
Parents reported that five children were diagnosed by doctors with conjunctivitis and eye irritation. It is not yet known who turned on the quartz lamp in the classroom. It is assumed that this could be a teacher or a cleaning lady. At the same time, the parents asked the school management not to punish the teacher.
Boltenko appealed to the Investigative Committee of Russia and the prosecutor's office. Currently, the school administration is conducting an internal investigation.
Earlier in Nizhny Novgorod, 17 cadets also received eye burns from a quartz lamp operating at the school. At that moment, the parents told the local media that the burns appeared due to the fact that someone forgot to turn off the quartz lamp.
