Back to classes
Education Minister Milton Ribeiro said today that face-to-face classes in schools are expected to return “soon.” In an interview with the girl youtuber Esther Castilho, he recalled that the decision also depends on the state governments:
“Classes should be back soon, as soon as you’re safe,” he said. “It depends on each state too, but we’ll have news there soon, you see?” He commented.
Vehicles gather to obtain information
In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but recent attitudes from the authorities and the president himself question the availability of the data and its veracity.
