Coronavirus, surgical masks and no cloth at school. And for teachers comes the transparent to read lips.

Arrive today the official, but the path seems to be marked: the Scientific technical committee choose the mask surgical for children and students who will return to school, preferring it to community (that is, made of fabric) and counting on the 11 million pieces that the curator Domenico Arcuri promised to send every day to institutes. For teachers instead the Cts gave the green light to the transparent mask ‘: the technical name is’ lip reading mask’, a device – although indispensable in institutions for deaf and dumb children – allowing you to read the lip of teachers and facilitates understanding and the dialogue even in the case of deaf students.

The project, unique in Italy, some transparent masks were delivered to the team of the emergency commissioner Arcuri by the company ‘Under Shield’ of Fontaniva (Padua), who developed it together withMagarotto Institute for the Deaf of Padua me Rome. “The Cts – refers toAdnkronos Health Paolo Pandin, founder of ‘Under Shield’ – demanded that this type of mask have the CE mark (which certifies the conformity of the product with the requirements of the Community directives) and we have adapted it.

At this point we know the key measures to stop the virus, while for example, with the reopening, a surgical preparation for a coffee seemed almost necessary. Then it was seen that attention and common sense were enough ”. Therefore, at school, “effective, clean and correctly fitted masks, social distancing and hand hygiene are essential to reduce the risks for students and teachers.
