The President of the Regional Government admits that the first days of October can substantially worsen the epidemiological situation in the Region due to the numerous trips to the Continent planned during the next week to enroll children in Higher Education, not only of teachers, but also of professionals of health. and social areas.
“You have to be very careful now,” Miguel Albuquerque warned this morning during his visit to EB123 / PE in Porto da Cruz, predicting that “now we are going to have a critical period”.
The question is the enrollments in the universities as of next Monday that lead many parents to accompany their children. With the aggravating circumstance that the following weekend is extended with a holiday and, therefore, invites to extend the stay outside the Region.
Albuquerque speaks of “many people, especially in this October vacation, who will necessarily have to travel to the continent to put their children in college and this will have consequences in terms of strengthening preventive measures,” he recalled.
The President of the Government estimates a “high number of teachers” who will travel to the continent starting this weekend. Therefore, in addition to the mandatory test upon arrival, “we will reinforce it with a second test between the 4th and 5th day”, in order to better filter the cases of contagion and thus try to avoid contagion as much as possible.
“It is a risk that we are taking now and we hope to control it,” he said.
