Parents and guardians who have children covered by the suspension of 1st and 2nd cycle classroom classes in Albufeira, Faro, Loulé, Olhão and São Brás de Alportel, and who have to stay with their children, can request the equivalent of a declaration of isolation from the Regional Health Authority.

The application must mention the county and school, the student's name and the student's SNS user number, and the name of the parent who needs to stay with the student, SNS user number and Social Security number (must-have).
The decision to suspend classroom classes for the 1st and 2nd cycles in these five Algarve municipalities was made known at the end of this Sunday and took into account the epidemiological situation.
Speaking to journalists the regional delegate for Health in the Algarve said that the state of the pandemic made it necessary to "do something".
According to a statement from the Regional Health Administration (ARS) on Sunday, there were, at the time, «816 active confirmed cases of Covid-19», in these municipalities, with an incidence rate at 14 days (cases per 100.000 inhabitants) of 583 to Albufeira, 329 to Faro, 448 for Loulé, 403 for Olhão and 326 for São Brás de Alportel».
Even so, the measure has already been criticized by parents' associations., namely because it was communicated on a Sunday.
