Port-au-Prince, Haiti.- In the April 24, 2020 file photo, children in Haiti try to educate themselves amid the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). The socioeconomic effects of the coronavirus pandemic could set back "decades" the progress made in the education of girls and adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean, many of which may "never return to the classroom", as it has warned this Tuesday, International Plan. The NGO estimates that currently some 500 million children and young people around the world are not receiving distance education, "something that is having devastating consequences in Latin America and the Caribbean", where more than 95 percent of minors have remained outside of classrooms without many of them being able to follow classes online.

Illustration picture shows a smartphone with Covid-19 app in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on April 19, 2020. The World Health Organisation says tracking infected people, and tracing and alerting their contacts, are vital if the disease is to be kept under control after lockdown. The government says it has received 750 applications from companies to co-operate on a 'corona app' and will draw up a shortlist over the weekend with the aim of producing a draft proposal on April 21. The app is expected to use Bluetooth technology on mobile phones to see who has been in contact with an infected person. Privacy campaigners are concerned that if the app is rolled out too quickly it will not be secure or sufficiently anonymous and have questioned its effectiveness. The governments target is for 60% of people to use the app, but in Singapore, where a voluntary app was introduced, take-up is around 20%. Photo by Robin Utrecht/ABACAPRESS.COMNo Use Netherlands.
