Havana, March 16 (RHC)-- Cuba's Ministry of Education (MINED) is currently improving some measures in schools to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus without suspending the current school year.

The measures include that health professionals train workers specifically in recognizing symptoms of the virus, Mary Carmen Rojas Torres, head of the school health department, told Granma newspaper.

The major measures are related to the direct healthcare of children and workers, to isolate them if necessary, or not allow that people with any acute respiratory infections enter the educational centers, she said.

According to Rojas, the surveillance also includes students who present symptoms of fever and cough, who will be isolated, while their family and the health area are informed about it.

The health official stressed the need to guarantee that students and workers wash their hands systematically.
