The new phase of the Coronavirus quarantine begins this week and will run
until October 25
throughout the country.
The City of Buenos Aires starts it with the contagion curve in "decline", according to the authorities, although still with an average of between
900 and a thousand new infected daily
.
"On July 17 we launched a
Comprehensive and Gradual Plan for the Commissioning of the City
. Today we are completing
the first 3 of the 6 stages,"
said the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, on Friday, when he announced the activities that they are added to continue moving out of the confinement.
Back to classrooms
The City, after several weeks of negotiations and political crossovers, managed to
return the students to the classrooms
, which will begin to happen on Tuesday and on a voluntary basis,
in groups of up to 10 students.
They will be "educational accompaniment activities" for students of 7th grade of primary school and 5th year of secondary school, in the schoolyards.

Schools will
gradually
open
from Tuesday, which is the first business day (Monday is a holiday).
What will happen to
private schools
?
The privately managed educational establishments must notify the General Directorate of Private Management Education to advance in the same direction.
From some schools communications were already issued to families and to announce the return date,
between this week and next
.
It was announced that teachers and school personnel who have to go to work
will be able to use public transport.
Building
It was agreed to add
construction works of less than
5,000 square meters.
They will be able to work from 10 to 19 from Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays from 10 to 14.
In the area, other types of larger works had already been enabled.
For now, workers must guarantee their form of transfer, or it must be provided by the employer, since they are not authorized to use
public transport
, intended only for workers in areas considered essential.

Domestic service
Those who work in
a single home
were enabled
, with no limit on the number of days
.
They will have to comply with a strict protocol and for now they will not be allowed to
use public transport
, which is still reserved for workers in areas considered essential.
The protocol recommends establishing
entry and exit times
for the worker, where there is less agglomeration of people at home.
Inside the house, you must maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 meters and do not share personal items (glasses, cutlery, mate).
Domestic workers
also do not have to use a cell phone in the work area
: if that happens, they must wash their hands again and clean the phone.
Gyms and group sports
It was confirmed that the
gyms
will be able to
function on
terraces or patios
.
And even whitewash something that already happens, which are the
group classes
that are seen in parks and squares throughout the City, especially in the afternoons.
The owners also hoped to reopen the rooms, for which they guarantee that they have sanitary protocols and the possibility of ventilating the rooms.
But only "rehabilitation cases" will be allowed, when in some GBA municipalities they managed to work with cases under
"medical prescription".
There
is discontent in
the sector
and they expect to be received by officials from the Buenos Aires Health Ministry this week to continue negotiating more openings.
In addition, they say that the restrictions continue to "push towards an
informality
that is more dangerous and is in fact."
In the new stage,
group
sports
training
without contact and without sharing elements, outdoors and in public and private institutions with a
maximum of 10 people
and three groups simultaneously in gyms, sports centers and clubs
are also enabled
.
In this aspect,
doubles
are also enabled
in tennis and paddle tennis
and in other disciplines that until now allow only individual activity.
Cultural events
The public space will also be the setting for
cultural events
.
It is intended to create enabled corridors in the vicinity of independent rooms and also to authorize those that have
terraces or patios.
The limit would be
300 people
.
Registered street performers
will also be able to work in
.
Entertainment in the public space and outdoors includes
carousels and aerobic posts.
Social gatherings
As for
social gatherings
, which already take place in parks and squares, and also in other more private areas, the idea is to allow them in
outdoor spaces in sports institutions
(up to ten people, with mandatory distance and masking).
At the same time, in the sphere of the family nucleus, the permission for meetings in
the common spaces of the buildings was added
.
In all cases, these spaces may be used as long as the sector
can be ventilated
, and the days and times that have been established in the co-ownership regulations.
Consortia must implement a shift system that enables the reservation for a set time of use.
Those who use them must maintain a social distance of 1.5 meters and wear a mask.
Neighbors who are at risk groups will not be able to access.
And it will only be for those who reside in the building.
The measure covers
grills, terraces, tennis courts, parks and laundry
, but not the pools and other amenities such as
gym or sauna
that the building may have.
The Buenos Aires government announcement included
"safe visits to geriatric establishments
.
"
In other words, the older adults who reside there will be able to start receiving visits with a protocol that is still under evaluation.
Film and TV shootings
There is also
fiction recording for film and television
, with a capacity limited to one person every 15 square meters, with a limit of 20 in the filming areas, without audiences in studios.
And the return of private academies for drivers with street practices will be allowed.
Public offices
The service of
renewal or delivery of licenses
, passport, DNI and marriages through shifts in community venues will
also be enabled
.
Neighbors will not be received spontaneously.
On Tuesday the 13th the branch 7 of Emilio Miter 956
reopens and on Thursday the 15th the headquarters of Avenida Roca reopens.
And they will return to
religious services in funerals.
Shoppings and "telos" no
During the week the possibility of opening the
Buenos Aires shopping malls was considered
.
There was talk of limiting capacity and length of stay.
And everything seemed to advance.
But the president lowered his thumb to the initiative of the Buenos Aires government and the opening was on standby.
There may be news in the week.
They also did not enable hotels to stay, a sector that this week launched a campaign to ask to reopen.
It was also considered to enable bars and restaurants with 25 percent of the capacity in the halls, but it did not happen either.
These are some of the items and activities that still have to wait.
