The closure of schools during the

Covid-19

pandemic has affected the cognitive and motor skills of preschool children, according to a study released this Wednesday by the University of the Republic, in Uruguay.

Experts do not see fit to remove mask indoors for fear of a rebound in coronavirus cases

The time is not right to eliminate the use of masks indoors, not now or in the short term.

Intensivists and epidemiologists agree that there is no need to take risks because the

coronavirus

continues to circulate and at Carnivals and Easter a small rebound of

Covid

is expected .

The

Covid

coordinator of the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (Semergen) and epidemiologist, Vicente Martín, explains it to Efe, who considers that removing the mandatory nature of masks indoors has to be linked to the fact that there is no community transmission and the incidence accumulated remains below 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

While the president of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE), Elena Vanessa Martínez, agrees that removing the mask "is not something from today to tomorrow, we have to wait" and now the work rests on assessing what that limit should be, " and that is not done by choosing a random number, but rather it is necessary to see what incidence is not a problem for the health of the population".

Also the president of the Spanish Society of Critical Intensive Medicine and Coronary Units (Semicyuc), Álvaro Castellanos, opts to continue using the mask indoors because there is still a risk of contracting serious illness in the group of vulnerable people and here he cites the elderly 65 years of age, the unvaccinated, the immunosuppressed, the transplanted, the chronic and people with cardiovascular diseases.
