One of the requirements for this is that they must comply with biosafety protocols.
Kindergartens and private schools must register their protocols on the page of the Secretary of Education of the SED District (Private gardens with SIRSS code will be forwarded to the page of the Secretariat of Social Integration). The protocols of the school or private garden will be reviewed by the District Secretary of Health and this will issue a concept on the viability of the reopening.

• Strengthen student-teacher-parent communication channels as well as consolidate information, education and communication strategies with the educational community.
• The biosafety protocols and the reports of symptomatic students and / or workers must be made in a link mounted on the page of the Ministry of Education with link provided by the District Secretary of Health.
