Schools in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, have begun to reopen, as part of the gradual return to school departments in light of the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic. The mayor’s office said that 12 public schools opened their departments to students, while primary schools are expected to resume their activities next week. According to the Argentine authorities, the classes will be held in open courtyards, with sections consisting of ten students in each group. But the main teachers’ union refused to reopen schools, even partially, demanding instead that the authorities provide computers and an Internet connection for low-income students who were unable to maintain contact with their schools. The union, which called for the strike, said that as long as the epidemic continues, as long as it continues to spread among society. The average number of injuries in the Argentine capital is still around 900 per day, out of a total of more than 900,000 cases since the outbreak of the epidemic, which has killed more than 24,000 people.
