Health minister denies grades 7-10 could head back to school next week

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein dismisses reports that grades 7-10 could head back to class from next week, saying the “rumors” are “untrue.”

“The Health Ministry maintains that we cannot make the mistake of moving up the next stage in the reopening of the economy before two weeks have passed from the previous easing [of restrictions],” he says.
