School, first the false start in August, then the problems with the anti Covid kits available to doctors and now the last minute rush to the clinics: nothing to do, therefore the voluntary serological tests on teachers are too late . At the first ring, in fact, the teacher will enter class without the results of the screening: according to estimates, one in two teachers, among those who have decided to take the test, has not yet done so.

School, time out
And time is practically up: according to the directives, the last day is Monday, September 7. That is to say, one week before the resumption of lessons, scheduled for 2:00 p.m.: these seven days of time serve to guarantee on the one hand that the result is as recent as possible and on the other hand that there are a few days to do the swabbing. , if required. But by Monday it will not be time to cover even half of the available teachers.
“Teachers are encountering many difficulties, complains Maddalena Gissi from the CISL school – many have decided to take the test for a fee. I think the percentage of those who will not be tested has dropped to 10% but, among those who intend to do so, only 50% managed to get an appointment on time, in some areas maybe 60%. These are estimates, pending the official data that we will absolutely ask you also because the test for teachers is part of the security protocol that we have signed to return to class safely. It’s also important because we need to know how many positives there are – understand how many replacements and replacements to start at the beginning of the school year. It is an important operation from a health point of view but also from a didactic point of view, to restart school ».
Why all this delay? There have been too many hurdles and what should have been a thorough scrutiny, on a potential audience of 800,000 volunteers, has revealed too complicated a path to begin with. On August 24, the test start date, white coats were not ready in several regions. Think, for example, that the kits arrived in Puglia even in the first days of September. Not only that, the teachers’ lack of adherence to the assessment in the last week of August has now turned into a final race near the deadline.
“We have had several problems – says Silvestro Scotti, national secretary of Fimmg, the Italian Federation of Family Physicians – a kit consists of 25 samples and a single reagent bottle: at first it was a problem even to only get a kit for 15 patients. Administrative problems, which have slowed us down. Now we need to understand if Monday is really the last day for testing – do we have to return the unused kits? Do we have to deliver the reports? Actually there are Regions that will not open schools on the 14th but on the 24th, will the tests continue there? We are waiting for a clarification from the health ministry, before 7 o’clock of course, otherwise we don’t know how to move ”.
In fact, these days the requests of teachers are increasing but they also run the risk of overlapping with the difficulties of the different territories: “Let’s think of Lazio – explains Pierluigi Bartoletti, regional secretary of Fimmg – in the months of June and July we think that we could safely test teachers. ” in September, but this is not the case: before Ferragosto we have returned to the forefront with controls over the population. Think, in Rome, of the checks we are doing in Fiumicino and of the returns from Sardinia. Until a few weeks ago work in drive-ins was quiet, now they are crowded. By the 14th we will not achieve it, we would have preferred more organization ».
