It is an opportunity because it will be provided with significant financing and “the Canary Islands are the ideal test bed”, the “Saudi Arabia of wind energy”. In his opinion, it is evident that the Canary Islands must protect tourism, "but we have learned the lesson that we cannot depend on just one thing."

Its spokesperson, Camila Florencia Hernández, points out that the scope of application would be both primary and secondary education, although she recognizes that in secondary school, in-person evaluation through exams is required. Decrease in school ratios Considers that this possibility of choice is reasonable because, under current WhatsApp Number List conditions, many parents cannot assume some risks related to the disease and, in addition, there are cases where many families cannot afford the expense of consumables such as masks, although points out that many of these issues can be solved through the subsidy. Likewise, he indicates that through the election, school ratios would decrease considerably “and teachers could dedicate more time to education and less to control.” Remember that people who request these alternatives are aware of what is expected of them, since those who choose online training must commit to assuming responsibility for their children attending classes.

In addition, they have managed to create a national coordination of platforms with similar demands.

Go to download The Canarian company Evoscial Soft has developed a tool that combines thermal and conventional vision cameras to, through artificial intelligence, take thermal readings of people and distinguish the use of masks. Using artificial vision projects already underway, they have managed to create a prototype capable of calculating the temperature and notifying the affected person or those in charge of an area for supervision. These applications would be useful, says Antonio Álvarez, in the context of ports and airports, in hospitals, particularly in emergency services screening, and in supermarkets and commercial establishments. Safe, non-prison environments The application detects a high temperature or the absence of a mask and sends an alert to those responsible for a second reading or a physical check. Álvarez emphasizes that the system is used to prevent the spread, without accumulating people's identity data: “We want to prevent cities from becoming prisons, but make them safe areas. “No one is interested in Covid running rampant.
