With regard to schools, the activities continue in presence, but in second grade schools more flexible modalities will be favored as of October 21, with admissions at 9 in the morning and, if possible, in shifts of late. Universities, on the other hand, must be able to adapt to the evolution of the epidemiological situation, providing the possibility of distance education if necessary. The decree provides for the suspension of amateur sports competitions, prohibits local festivals and fairs (allowing only national and international fairs) and suspends conventions.
Referral to gyms and swimming pools
The prime minister explained that gyms and swimming pools will be given a week to align with security protocols. For those who do not respect them, of course, decisions will be made on closings. So, for now, the gyms and swimming pools remain open.
