With more than 3 million infections accumulated in 14 months and after exceeding 64 thousand deaths, Argentina remains among the
15 most affected countries
in absolute numbers since the beginning of the global health crisis.
This Tuesday, the City confirmed the
continuity of face-
to-
face classes
at the initial and primary levels, after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of its claim against Alberto Fernández's DNU that had ordered the suspension in the AMBA.
Meanwhile, the secondary level will continue in bimodal format and while education for adults, tertiary and vocational training will continue to be virtual, as the Buenos Aires government had arranged last week.
The Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Fernán Quirós, confirmed that there has been a decrease in coronavirus infections, although he recalled that it is important that, given the arrival of the first cold days, care and protocols are maintained in closed spaces.
The high occupancy of intensive care units is one of the variables that most worries the health authorities.

Regarding vaccination, he stated that "all those who have received the Sputnik vaccine will receive the second component to the extent that the City has access," and remarked that in the last shipments that arrived from Moscow, no doses of the second component.
"Those who have received Covishield or AstraZeneca will receive the second dose from week twelve, we understand that by
mid-May
a shipment is likely to arrive," he anticipated.
Meanwhile, the Province decided that another six municipalities go to phase 2. These are Cañuelas, Exaltación de la Cruz, Brandsen, Campana, Zárate, San Andrés de Giles and Bahía Blanca, where face-to-face classes were suspended.
