Similarly, he emphasized that the vast majority will do so with their complete vaccination scheme against the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

“The schools take life and with them all of Cuba,” wrote the head of state on that platform.

The institutions reopened this Monday welcome students of sixth grade, basic secondary and high school, from all provinces, with the exception of residents in the demarcations of Las Tunas, Granma, Holguín (all in the east of the country), Camagüey , Villa Clara (center) and Mayabeque (west).

Students from these six territories will join the classrooms on November 15, along with the rest of the primary and preschool students.

According to the Ministry of Education, 90 percent of the more than one million students who will resume the course this November received the complete vaccination scheme against Covid-19.
