The Municipal Executive announced that actions are already being analyzed in case the Air Quality Index (AQI) worsens. This was announced by Mayor Jhonny Fernández, who also indicated that, for now, medical teams will be deployed to educational units.
Among the measures that are being analyzed to apply in case the ICA worsens, the suggestion of the suspension of in-person school classes and the closure of urban parks in the city.
Fernández announced that, due to the poor air quality, mobile brigades will be deployed to educational units in the capital of Santa Cruz, to assist minors who require eye drops or who have an allergic condition.
“Eye drops and even face masks will be distributed if necessary,” the mayor announced at a press conference on Wednesday morning.
The mayor also said that concrete actions are planned if air quality worsens.
“We are going to close the urban parks and we will see how to have a meeting with the Departmental Directorate of Education so that in-person classes are suspended and become virtual. But it is subject to the ICA that we breathe,” he said.
The report until Tuesday is that the ICA in Santa Cruz de la Sierra was in bad or unhealthy condition.
