The State Attorney General’s Office (PGE) submitted a request to suspend the decision that determined the resumption of classes in the educational system, public and private, in the state of Bahia, until March 1. The lawsuit was filed last Friday (12).
In the request, addressed to the President of the Court of Justice, PGE maintains that the decision of Court 6 of Public Finance of the Salvador district is illegitimate, because it does not observe the scientific reasons that justify the suspension of teaching. “In addition, it was demonstrated that the decision imposes a serious offense to public health and order, especially because it determines the return of classes at a time when there is a vertiginous increase in contamination and deaths from covid-19,” says the note sent by the state government.
The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation recognizes that “the desire of all, in Bahia, is that the students return to their face-to-face activities, to socialization and to the support of the schools. Today, however, this return is technically unfeasible and will lead to an exponential growth and a dramatic contamination of the virus and the expansion of Covid-19 in the state ”.
The document also indicates that, therefore, social isolation is of fundamental importance, since the state has grown by 1.99% in the last five days, and is located in the third place with the highest number of cases in the country. to data from the CONASS Panel – National Council of Health Secretaries. And he also warns that technical-scientific information from state health agencies confirm the arrival of a new strain of the virus, much more infectious, even in children.
