Protocol update in Buenos Aires territory
As specified by official sources, students will be able to stop wearing chinstraps outdoors when the total population from 3 to 11 years old reaches 50% vaccination coverage with at least one dose. Regarding the measure in closed places, it was specified that they should maintain it regardless of the level of immunization.
In the event of a suspicious case appearing at the school, modifications were also reported: the isolation of the group will only be carried out when there is already a result of the laboratory test. During the wait, preventive measures should be taken.
If the contagion belongs to a teacher who maintained distance and complied with adequate care from the previous 48 hours, the professional will only be isolated. In the case of a student, the students must be isolated from the group to which they belong if they were in close contact 48 hours before.
