The Province of Buenos Aires plans the back to school for March 2 and one month from the date, the authorities seek to intensify the vaccination campaign to minimize the health risk in the classrooms.
The Minister of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires, Nicolás Kreplak, assures that he is committed to full attendance at the back to school. “Now with the vaccine it is not essential that we guarantee the distance. What we have to guarantee is the use of a quality chinstrap, from the first grade with a chinstrap, ”said the official on the return to the classroom.
Kreplak explained that facial protection is crucial for the back to school, but it must be guaranteed that it is of quality and parents are asked that they avoid cloth masks and opt for surgical ones, which are among those recommended by health experts.
Kreplak was optimistic in back to school due to the new decrease in coronavirus infections and awareness about vaccination; however, he noted that a full assessment is not possible at this time.
You have to see how things evolve with five million people moving with the start of classes.
Tests are down
The saturation of the testing centers dropped drastically in the last two weeks and is related to the low incubation of the Omicron variant in people who are properly inoculated against the disease.
There is a rapid drop in cases, as we have seen around the world with the Omicron variant. All hospitalizations in the country are being reduced.
The head of Health recalled that education workers can go to the vaccination centers to receive the third dose, if four months have passed since they completed their immunization schedule.
