Education has designed the plan to return to schools with two main premises: to ensure the presence of

students safely and to establish coe-xistence groups for a more comfor-table development of the classes. This was explained yesterday after-noon, in a press conference, by the Minister of Education, Ester Vilar-rubla, and the Minister of Health, Joan Martínez Benazet.

As the minister explained, the will of her department is that «it can be returned in full,» and the

ned will be carried out in the Sto-pLab of the Fire Station and two more will also be established in two locations that have not yet been de-cided. Benazet also said that the-re will be constant monitoring of the status of infections with sam-ple groups and, in any case, the co-existence groups will be isolated in the event that a positive is detected among one of the its members.

THE CALENDAR IS MAINTAINED / On the other hand, Vilarrubla also confir-med that the start date of the scho-ol year for Wednesday, September 9 for kindergarten and primary education courses is maintained and is set for Monday, September

14 for the rest of ‘higher education.However, the minister also said

that they are prepared in case the epidemiological situation wor-sens, and therefore, possible spa-ces have been located in all paris-hes where to distribute students in case the number of students who can live be smaller.

The efforts of both ministri-es are in the direction that all stu-dents can take classes in person, as the ministers agreed on the impor-tance of social learning, especially for younger children. «We all share the importance of education and making it face-to-face, because it helps us to give equal opportuni-ties,» said Vilarrubla. Benazet also considered that «we believe that Andorra will not find itself in the situation of having to close an en-tire center due to the detection ef-forts we are making». H

Screening will be voluntary and will consist of a TMA test and a serological test from the age of six

test that was done in June was a first step to see how it could be ac-hieved. In this case, the definition of coexistence groups will be cho-sen again, which security measu-res may be eased, as it will not be mandatory to wear a mask or ke-ep a safe distance. In September, the volume of these groups is ex-panded to the total of the regular class. Students who share a journey on the same school bus will also be considered a coexistence group. However, the measures will have to be complied with, for children from the age of six, once they leave the classroom and come into con-tact with other classes, such as in

by younger students, kindergarten and primary education cycles, and finally the upper courses.

The screening will be voluntary, and families will be summoned by sending them a letter with directi-ons. The recipients, however, will be only students, in addition to te-achers and other staff of the cen-ters. In the case of children, the call extends from the age of six, but if desired, the test can also be perfor-med by children of this age. The tests to be performed will be a TMA, which is a smear to the throat, and a serological test, which requires a puncture in the finger.

the courtyard, the dining room or the library.

And in order to make this return as safe as possible, Minister Bena-zet confirmed that screening will be carried out on both students and staff at the center before the start of the course. In addition, the minis-ter also pointed out that the results will also serve to have «a represen-tative picture of the state of Andor-ran society» on his return from the holiday period.

This screening will begin the we-ek of August 31 and will be done gradually, first by teachers, who usually join the work a few days be-fore to prepare the course, followed

Ecoserveis and Mhs sell, ins-tall and exclusively maintain R ’Sound systems in the Principa-lity of Andorra. The two companies aim to put PEC technology at the service of our well-being, which is why this week Luc-Pierre Gaillard, Com-mercial Director of MHS and Mic-hael Masanelli, Production Direc-tor of MHS, travelled to the Princi-pality to present with Ecoserveis the launch of this innovative pu-rification and disinfection system on the Andorran market. EL PERiÒDiC has been able to talk to those responsible for this initiative, so that they can ex-plain to us in more depth what this modern procedure consists of.
