A Most outbreaks are found in the Lisbon region and the Tagus Valley, with 12 cases, followed by the North region, with seven. The Central region has three foci and the Algarve one, said Graça Freitas at the press conference in to update information regarding infection fur SARS–CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19-19.
According to Graça Freitas, what has been happening since the schools were opened is that “the situation is under control.”
“What happens is that sometimes a school has only one case, but that may involve going home to some close contacts,” he said, explaining that many times the decision to go home to only a few people, to go to a class or going to more than one class also has a lot to do with the school organization itself.
“The more organized by bubbles, by sectors, for school classes, it is easier to keep students in school and send them for surveillancencia at home as few people as possible ”, he stressed.
Regarding the impact that the opening of schools will have had on the spread of the epidemic, he considered that it is still “premature” at this time to know what that impact is, but it does not seem to be “very big.”
“The situation at the moment is a control situation, with few outbreaks active in schools, with few cases involved ”, he emphasized.
According to Graça Freitas, “what is found in epidemiological surveys is that many times there are sick relatives and it seems that transmission occurs more from relatives to children than vice versa.”
Other times, the positive cases are employees and therefore come from the community and will have hired infection in the community, explained Graça Freitas.
“Varying from school to school, this can imply the closure of classes, especially if there is no separation between classes and separation of professionals and if students are all together, for example, at meals,” he added.
In this sense, Graça Freitas left “a great attraction” to schools to segregate “as much as possible”, but “without letting people live together”.
“That separate the students and their Activities so that if there is a case you don’t have to go home with many others ”, he advised.
