translated from Spanish: Jujuy: call for suspension of classes due to the death of 29 teachers due to COVID-19

Various groups of teachers and relatives of the 29 dead educators demonstrated outside the Government House in the capital of Jujeña to ask for a return to virtual classes and the suspension of attendance. “The presence sick and kills”; “jujeña teaching of mourning” and “criminal presence”, were some of the slogans of the march. Teacher Mercedes Sosa, a member of the Marina Vilte Trade Union Current, told Telam that Jujuy is the first province in the case fatality rate of teachers who died after contracting coronavirus this year after returning to face-to-face classes. Trade unionist Sosa lamented that “there are already 29 teachers who have died” and pointed out that vaccination for the sector “only began two weeks ago, but we had to demand access to that right with posters and demonstrations.” This morning, the death of another teacher, Erminia Sánchez, from the city of Palpalá, was reported. There have been 32,840 infections since the beginning of the pandemic. 26,589 people recovered and 1,171 died.
