School: quick swabs in class be one student tests positive for COVID-19, but this possibility seems to be foreseen for the moment only in two regions in Italy, that means Lazio and Veneto.
The “Fiumicino method” has been defined as a result of what happens at the Rome airport to identify cases of infected subjects, which even schools are preparing to use with quick swabs.
Quick swabs at school will get you one in half an hour put on screen detailed of class in which there is a COVID-19 case.
Obviously thequick swab reliabilityUnlike the traditional ones, it is not 100%, but in any case they allow not having to wait two days to obtain the results, an important element in a school.
Meanwhile, as we have seen, the CTS has indicated the rules for the use of the mask in the school that, although they are mandatory, they cannot be used at the desk and at the same time we have seen how each Institute will have a COVID-19 contact .
Let’s see now in detail what are quick swabs For the positives of COVID-19 expected in the schools of Lazio and Veneto, what will be the procedure to follow.
School: Quick swabs in the classroom if COVID-19 is positive
If a student at school, but also a teacher, tests positive for COVID-19, quick swabs will be taken to understand which and how many people are infected.
At the moment, only two Regions seem to be adopting the solution: Veneto and Lazio. Mother How will these quick swabs work? What will the process be?
In the case of a classroom positive for COVID-19, theUscar that by now we have come to know, that is, the “mobile unit with doctors and nurses on board”, will go to the corresponding school. Here, then, the quick swabs that allow, as anticipated, to have the results in 30 minutes will be carried out.
Identified any other positive for COVID-19, these will be subject to quarantinewhile the remaining students will be sent home, but it does not appear that they are required to guard the house.
In fact, once the school in question has proceeded to disinfection facilities, students who are not positive for COVID-19 will be allowed to return to school in two days. This procedure that will be adopted in Lazio and that should be similar in Veneto as well.
The reliability of quick swabs is85%But intervening in crowded places like schools can be really effective for a timely response to potential outbreaks.
Quick swabs look for virus proteins in the patient’s saliva and do not need to be processed in a laboratory. The exam consists of taking saliva as well as the possibility of proceeding with the sticks in the nose and throat as in the traditional tampon. It is precisely the traditional swab, given its greater reliability, which will then be carried out in other positive cases at the school for feedback.
Quick swabs at school: what happens in other regions
If Veneto and Lazio have already provided quick swabs at the school according to a mechanism intended to contain any outbreak in the short time if there is a positive student or teacher for COVID-19, the other Italian regions have not yet spoken about it. For the moment, for the rest of the country, the only solution is the traditional tampon.
As reported by the Corriere della Sera the region Lombardy, the hardest hit by COVID-19, did not provide quick swabs for the school. The Regional Health Councilor Giulio Gallera in fact, he stated that Lombardy received 5 thousand fast buffers by Spallanzani, of which a thousand will go to prisons, the remaining part will be used when necessary.
The commissioner said that the Region expects 60 thousand fast buffers that would be used as a priority for the school.
