7.00 The Government and the communities will decide today how the return to school will be

Autonomous communities and the Government decide today how the return to non-university classrooms will be, a roadmap that bets on

face-

to-

face classes

at all stages of teaching and to maintain the use of

masks

.

For this, the ministerial teams will meet by

videoconference

with the regional councilors from the Moncloa Palace from 4:00 p.m., in a joint meeting of the Education Sector and the Interterritorial Health Commission.

Then it is planned that the ministers

Isabel Celaá

and

Carolina Darías will

offer a press conference with the news of the next school year for children from the Infantile to Vocational Training section.

The proposal that Health and Education sent a few days ago to regional governments to make their contributions advocates presence for reasons not only of academic performance but also of emotional well-being and equity of the students.

Madrid insists on vaccinating with AstraZeneca instead of mixing with Pfizer

The Community of Madrid has reiterated in the Public Health Commission its request to put the second dose of

AstraZeneca

, since the Carlos III Health Institute study that supports mixing

Pfizer

and

AstraZeneca

is based on a

"very low" number of patients

, according to the acting Madrid Minister of Health, Enrique Ruiz Escudero.

Administration of the

second dose of AstraZeneca in children under 60 years of age will be with Pfizer

.

A decision that was made in a tight way within the Public Health Commission:

10 votes in favor of the option with RNA, seven in favor of completing the guideline with the same vaccine and two abstentions

.

Health will vaccinate with Pfizer the second doses of those under 60 vaccinated with AstraZeneca

Five basic areas of Madrid exceed the threshold of 400 cases of coronavirus to set restrictions

Five basic health zones (ZBS) of the total of 286 in the Community of Madrid have a cumulative incidence over fourteen days greater than 400 cases of

coronavirus

per 100,000 inhabitants, the threshold set by the regional government, along with other criteria, to enact restrictions on mobility.

It is about the municipality of Rascafría (741);

that of Moralzarzal (494);

Colmenar Viejo (482);

Perales del Río (474), in Getafe;

and Puerta del Ángel (400.18), in Madrid capital, according to the epidemiological map published by the Ministry of Health.

There are two more areas than those that exceeded the threshold of 500 cases 14 days ago, when those with the highest incidence were Leganés Norte (563), in the municipality of Leganés;

the town of Moralzarzal (554) and El Pardo (547), in Madrid capital.

In addition to the five areas that exceed the threshold of 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, those with the highest incidence are El Soto (381), Argüelles (360), Virgen del Cortijo (359) or Parque Coimbra (357).

The criteria applied by the General Directorate of Public Health to establish the limitations in these population centers, according to the epidemiological evolution of the region are: threshold higher than 400 cases per 100,000 inhabitants at fourteen days, increasing trend and community transmission.
