“Seventeen infected students in the same class is a major red flag, which should be interpreted nationally as a Sentinel event: what is particularly serious and potentially avoidable“The alarm was raised by the national president of Sis 118 Mario Balzanelli referring to the case of the Principessa Maria Pia institute in Taranto.
“By Prevent schools from causing a giant outbreak. – he explains – we must understand that covering the nose and mouth is not enough because the eyes are exposed to the air with infected microdoplets. At school, to eliminate the possibility of massive contagion, the anti-drip visor should also be used ”.
Balzanelli underlines: “Already in April 2020 we have clarified and called the attention of the highest state officials, that the Sars-Cov2 virus enters the body through 3 anatomical doors: eyes, nose and mouth. The most important are the eyes, because through the humid environment and its relative greater surface of exposure to the air that contains the microdroplets emitted by positive subjects, it binds to specific receptors present in the conjunctiva and in the eye, called AceE2 and Tmprss2. And through the Continuous physiological tear production from the eye enters the nose, from where it moves into the throat and upper and lower airways. ” 118 firmly urges the government to recognize that this possibility of contagion through the eyes exists and “therefore, implement specific preventive measures at school.”
And again: “On the basis of what happened in Taranto, we do not accept that the Italian school becomes the perfect setting for herd immunity to develop through our children.” Balzanelli finally recalls that the 118 already prepared and sent to the government the “Guidelines” of the Sis 118 on Covid-19 and School “based both on the experience in the field in recent months, and on what” demonstrated at the beginning of the epidemic in Wuhan by Chinese physician Li Wenliang, the 34-year-old ophthalmologist who raised the COVID-19 alarm before being killed by the virus, as well as scientific evidence that has been widely confirmed internationally for more than 30. “( ANSA)
