Protocolo de biossegurança para o retorno às atividades letivas nas instituições de ensino no âmbito da COVID-19

Abstract

COVID - 19 forced educational institutions and not only to reinvent themselves in such a way that they can adapt to what we call the "new normal". With the need to restart face-to-face activities in educational institutions, there is a concern on the part of managers, those in charge of education, students and society in general on how to prevent this global calamity. In the midst of this chaos, government agencies and the World Health Organization (WHO) have endeavored to coordinate responses to prevent and combat the disease. In response to one of the university's missions, which is to provide scientific contribution to mitigate problems that plague the community, this document emerges that will serve as a compass to guide the educational institutions of Angola and beyond, giving them the possibility to face this challenge and minimize the impact of the disease. This brings with it guidelines for returning to institutional teaching activities with safety and respect for life. For the sake of greater and better understanding, we divided it into 3 sections, the first describing general and pertinent issues related to the disease, the second with biosafety measures directed at institutions and the third not less important with measures directed at students. It is our intention that the present material will serve as a stimulus to all who use it and that above all it will be a useful consultation.
