Archived 12 September 2026Families need confirmation from their own school because reopening decisions can differ by site and may change after Friday's inspections.
- Seven establishments were affected on Thursday afternoon.
- The concern included food-service and hygiene conditions.
- A new inspection was scheduled for Friday before reopening decisions.
- A municipality-wide report does not prove the status of one school.
Why classes stopped
The local authority suspended activity after a large presence of flies created concern in several school environments. Health and municipal teams were asked to inspect conditions, including spaces connected with meals.
The closure was a precaution while the source and safe operating conditions were assessed. It should not be turned into an unsupported claim about contamination across the municipality.
Families should use the school channel
Reopening depends on the assessment for each establishment. Check the message from the school or municipality rather than assuming that a neighbouring site has the same timetable.
If a child receives school meals, follow the specific alternative arrangement communicated by the school. Keep contact details current so late changes reach the household.
