Health and Education are working on adjustments to follow the recommendations of the Public Health Commission
Catalonia will apply the decision of the Public Health Commission of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System to eliminate quarantines in infant and primary education if there are 4 cases or less of covid in a classroom. However, he considers it hasty to do it two days before going back to school, scheduled for this Monday.
In a statement, the Government has expressed its “disagreement” that this decision is taken at the doors of the return to the classroom, since, underlines, “it is a protocol change“which requires” the need to duly inform citizens in general and, in particular, professionals in the field of health and the educational community. “

Despite the objections, the ‘ministries’ of Health and Education are already working on updating the current protocols to start applying the new measures as of this next week.
On the other hand, and despite the fact that the Public Health Commission also recommends not tests to close school contacts. Catalunya will continue to do them, as it did during the first term, in the infant, primary and secondary stages. In the case of kindergarten and elementary school students, the same circuit used for ESO students will be used, through the participating pharmacies.
