Students, teachers and non-teaching staff will face the classrooms on January 10 with a reduction in anticovid restrictions: the unvaccinated will pass isolated 7 and not 10 days as until now.
Possibly, the only novelty of yesterday's summit between three ministries and 17 CCAA is a track of what this course is over: the elimination of quarantines.
A draft of the Ministry of Health proposes that inhabitant and primary it is not quarantile, although there is a contagion in the class and children are not vaccinated. That is, if you confine the positive student, but not to the class. Some experts ask to monitor the symptomatic and support the measure of this draft in the, in general, low transmissibility and viral load of children together with the damages associated with coexistence, reconciliation and mental health of confines themselves. But that does not mean that minors do not contagien and, in a wave of mild infections that are, that aperture measure has not yet been taken.
In the committees that advise health there is discussion about keeping the quarantines in bubble groups or not. That is why, yesterday, he did not choose the eraser ... but it was not ruled out. The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, said that, for now, the quarantines stay as they are for the rest of the population, which is already a step, because in the educational field Isolations lasted 10 days. But she also said that she will do what proposes alert's presentation and the Public Health Commission, who still debate the subject and plan to meet this week. It was the Public Health Commission that issued on December 30 that general quarantines go from 10 to 7 days. On that commission and the draft could pivot the novelties.
Among the experts there is a tendency to reduce the isolates. "You have to go to the less quarantines possible because it has consequences. In the US there is a daily test to narrow contacts and is sent to the student to class. Children go to class and have not increased contagions. It is called Test to Stay and is a copyable model. Pressure is a good decision. There are many contagions in Spain, but we can not make decisions in the educational field that are not taken in others. The contagions are given at Halloween parties, not in the classrooms, which are safe sites. " He is the doctor Jaime Jesús Pérez, vowel of the Society of Vaccunology, Deputy Director of Public Health of Murcia and member of the presentation of vaccines that advises the ministry.
Until new order, unvaccinated students in contact with a positive and unvaccinated positives will be isolated 7 days. Galicia has already said that "not vaccinated" are also less than 12 years with a dose because it is not a full guideline.
