The Government of Argentina, announced the implementation of new programs based on digital tools to address situations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Argentine Government presented the Cuidar Escuelas, a COVID-19 monitoring system, whose purpose is to alert on suspected and confirmed cases by schools in order to carry out COVID-19 prevention, control and monitoring actions in educational centers. In addition, the national government presented the digital vaccination credential, a platform for the registration of personnel working in educational institutions, who seek to receive the vaccine against COVID-19.
With Cuidar Escuelas, they seek to provide early alerts on cases registered in schools and thus prevent contagions efficiently, since this platform connects with the National Health Surveillance System.
The platform will obtain data directly from school management personnel. Previously, they will be provided with the access to enter https://www.argentina.gob.ar/educacion/cuidarescuelas platform where they will register the information obtained about their educational center. This tool includes all the educational centers in the country in any of their modalities, levels and shifts.
The platform is available in 11 provinces: Chaco, Córdoba, Jujuy, La Pampa, Mendoza, Misiones, Salta, San Juan, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego and Tucumán. And last week the registration process has started for the following provinces: Buenos Aires, Chubut, Corrientes, Río Negro, San Luis, Santa Fe and Santiago del Estero.
On the other hand, the digital vaccination credential will be made available within the Mi Argentinaprocedures management platform, so that users can consult the vaccination dates, the establishment where they will receive the dose(s) and the type of vaccine. This information will be attached to the Nominalized Federal Vaccination Registry (NOMIVAC).
