    Uruguayan authorities finally decided Wednesday that primary school pupils will have a two-week winter recess between July 3 and July 14 in a move to curb the contagion of respiratory diseases that have caused at least two deaths so far, it was reported in Montevideo.

    Uruguayan pupils return to virtual classes due to respiratory infections

    “If we do not decree this kind of administrative vacation, the loss of classes will be due to contagions and people falling ill,” Gabito explained.

    Uruguayan authorities Tuesday decided that, effective July 3, schooling nationwide will be online for the next two weeks before winter break, due to the increase of respiratory infections “in the general population and especially in children,” it was reported in Montevideo.
