The government announced to the public that it is expected to open the daycare center on May 18, and on June 1 the preschool (children between the age of 3 and the age of compulsory education) and ATL (Atividades de Tempos Livres, leisure activities, extracurricular classes, etc.). The courses for the eleventh and twelfth grades will be opened in turns from May 18, three hours each in the morning and afternoon.
If the epidemiological curve does not improve, the state will stop this plan and let parents continue to stay at home with their children. The president of the União das Misericórdias Portuguesas (UMP, Portuguese Mercies Association, under which 218 day care centers and kindergartens are running in the country) issued a statement to the public that the opening of the day care center will liberate parents throughout the month of May and allow them to return to their occupations. Society will in turn gradually resume production (industrial and commercial). For example, in Vizela (an industrial area), many parents asked for UMP to reopen the daycare center because they did not know how and where to arrange their young children. Moreover, after careful consideration, the UMP believe that the day care center has the responsibility to reopen to help the national economic recovery.
In addition, Manuel also took Denmark as an example. Denmark allowed the reopening of nursery facilities, increasing the reserved space for each nursery from 2 to 6 square meters. Manuel said, the prevention is a natural process. He admitted that "there will be more unemployed people who do not need day care centers any more, and there are also many parents who are unwilling to entrust their children to day care centers who will find alternatives instead." He also admitted that, opening all childcare-related institutions on June 1 may be counterproductive, because the containment of the coronavirus undoubtedly requires parents to bear relevant responsibilities.
The UMP emphasized that in the process of gradually opening up childcare facilities, on the one hand, the society must ensure the temperature measurement methods for children and guardians, on the other hand, everyone must has complete protective equipment.
