The Madrid City Council reopens children’s schools together with the Community of Madrid on July 1 and will also hold summer camps, with a safety distance, less capacity and a person responsible for compliance with the protocols. The pools dependent on the Community of Madrid will wait to open until July 1 and they will also do so coinciding with the opening of the pools of the city council, as announced by the Vice President of the Autonomous Government, Ignacio Aguado.
Nursery schools in Madrid will open with reduced capacity and prioritizing the situation of families whose parents have to do face-to-face work. In addition, the municipal summer camps will be held from July 15, with 1,500 places and 430 reserved for children with disabilities and with a person responsible for safety and hygiene for each activity. “There will be someone whose role, whose responsibility and concentration will be to ensure that the safety distance is met, the protocols, monitor that they wash their hands, that is, that all of this is accomplished,” said the Deputy Mayor, Begoña Villacís, after the government meeting. There will be one monitor or monitor for each group of five children between the ages of three and five, and another monitor or monitor for every nine children between the ages of six and 12, ratios with which “safety is guaranteed,” said the deputy mayor. In both cases, families with parents working in person will be a priority.
The Deputy Mayor of Madrid, Begoña Villacís, has indicated that they are obliged to prioritize because capacity has been reduced, and that they have used “the face-to-face criterion because it is the one set by the national government”, although she is in favor future of “reaching parents who telework because it is very difficult to reconcile and telework”. The gaugings and measures will be those dictated by the Community of Madrid, since for this reopening it is working with the Ministry of Education and Youth to “apply the same protocols that apply” in the region and “to be coordinated and follow their instructions in this regard ”, he indicated.
The municipal nursery schools opened the admission period for the 2020-2021 academic year on May 27, which will have 7,965 places in 70 centers.
Undefined protocols
The Madrid City Council also announced that the municipal swimming pools will open in early July, once the PCR test has been carried out on all the employees who work in them. From July 1, the Community will open in the capital those of Canal, M-86, Puerta de Hierro and San Vicente Paul.
Aguado, in the control session in the Assembly, explained that the regional Executive has decided to wait cautiously a few more days for the opening, although since Monday these facilities can open with 30 percent of capacity.
The pools will open following the recommendations and obligations of the Ministry of Health in terms of capacity and physical distance, use of gels or disinfection, but there is still no closed protocol. “There will be restrictions on capacity, and surely it will be necessary to use prior appointment mechanisms to go to the pools, but the context and the regulations have yet to be defined,” he explained after the presentation of the Plan to reactivate the sports sector in the region. “It is going to require that a series of daily disinfections of public swimming pools be complied with, respect for the capacity, the physical distance inside and outside the swimming pools will be required, and in those places where the lifeguard must be,” he added. .
