During the special Back to Classes program, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), Santaella called for the continuation and reinforcement of biosecurity measures in the country’s educational centers to avoid a rise of COVID-19 cases.
“We are going to continue to maintain the measures in each of the educational institutions,” Santaella said. “To do this, we have the teachers, the staff of the Ministry, the support of parents, and representatives of the children and young people who return to classes in a 100% face-to-face manner.”
