article_detailDate Published: 12/09/2020ARCHIVED ARTICLEARCHIVED - Children in Totana, Lorca and Lorqui will not return to school on Monday morning
Instead they must study from home along with pupils in Jumilla and Archivel, which are both in confinement
Murcian schoolchildren are due to start a new term on Monday, but pupils from Jumilla and Archivel in Caravaca de la Cruz will not be permitted to do so presencially, due to the fact that the municipality of Jumilla and pedanía of Archivel (Caravaca de la Cruz) have been confined due to the high level of coronavirus.
On Saturday it was confirmed that schoolchildren in Lorca, Totana and Lorquí will join them, after the Mayors of these three municipalities requested that the regional government temporarily postpone a presencial return to school due to the very high numbers of cases in all three municipalities.
The regional Government is keen to avoid any form of confinement as it is widely recognised that it is damaging for local businesses, but is meeting with the Mayor of Lorca on Monday at his request, to discuss intensifying the measures currently in place. The figures in Lorca have been increasing at a steady rate for the last month.
According to the latest epidemiological report, dated September 11th, the cumulative incidence per 100,000 inhabitants in the previous 7 days in these municipalities amounts to 434 in Lorquí, 390 in Lorca and 362 Totana.
Classes will be transmitted online so that children can study at home until it is considered safe for them to attend presencial classes.
There have been many such situations in schools across Spain this week, as many pupils returned in other regions a week earlier.
Enormous efforts are being made to isolate children into smaller “bubble groups”, stagger classes, reduce class sizes, implement strict measures to protect children, but all over Spain there have already been many classes closed due to positive cases in both staff and pupils and significant problems in some areas with parents choosing not to take their children to school at all.
The national Education Minister, Isabel Celaá, said on Thursday that “incidents” had occurred in 53 schools nationally this week, out of the 28,600 schools which have resumed classes, so although dozens of class closures and quarantines have been reported in the first 3 days of the new term, the numbers are relatively small, although obviously, the number of such cases will increase once the remaining schools return.
In anticipation of staff members being forced to quarantine should their pupils test positive, the Murcian government announced on Friday afternoon that it had contracted an additional 700 teaching staff, in addition to the 800 "spare" staff already contracted.
