When they can reopen, businesses will work  according to the local CUIT number : if it ends in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) they will open on even days; while those who have CUIT finished in an odd number will do so on odd days. The hours will be from 11 to 21.

Hotels

Hotels will open gradually, but not for tourism purposes.

They will open with a special protocol and gradually.  Only the rooms will be available. The use of common areas (bars, gyms, spa, pool) is not allowed. It is to meet specific housing needs, such as medical treatment or for companies that need it for their employees. To stay, it will be mandatory to present a circulation permit.

Education

The Buenos Aires government will open schools so that, with a previous shift, students who do not have connectivity at home to use a computer and the Internet can go.

According to Rodríguez Larreta, there are 5,100 children in the City who, due to different social situations during the pandemic, have not been able to maintain their link with the school. They will be contacted at home so that they can reconnect with the school and work on each case.

The first step in the start-up will be to open primary and secondary schools so that all the children who have had some connectivity problem at home can access a computer and the Internet .

It will be done in advance , in a relationship that favors distancing within buildings and classrooms, and the implementation of protocols. The boys will be supervised by the conductions of the schools.

Private management schools will be invited to join and open spaces for the use of computers and internet connection.

"The hygiene protocol is being worked on together with the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health and next week it will be presented to the national authorities," said Rodríguez Larreta.
