“I spoke with Minister Speranza on Wednesday, I asked him the question of the quick swab for screening in places like schools or where timely answers are needed.” Luca Zaia does not campaign. But the appointment calendar is tight and he spends the day between one meeting and another, with a difference from the usual: it thunders against those who hacked his phone and his WhatsApp and Instagram profiles.
The swab that gives the answer in a few minutes?
“Exactly. I think it should be quickly included in the public health protocols: 5 or 6 minutes and you know if you are positive, without a laboratory. Among other things, to verify its reliability in Veneto, we did a lot of double tests, both with the traditional and with the fast one: very reliable results. It is no coincidence that today there are 11 international pharmaceutical companies offering it and the price has dropped to 4.5 euros. “
But wasn’t the quick swab already used?
“Today the rapid test, or rather the antigen test, is accepted for those who come from Greece, Croatia, Malta and Spain. But extending its use would make life much easier for families and doctors.
Do you agree with the governor of Piedmont Alberto Cirio who won his battle to have his temperature measured even at school?
“And you ask me? He’s right, it’s common sense. They take your temperature in stores, in the hairdresser, in the gym … why not at school? I had an idea: in Rome they opposed to the measurement in schools, otherwise they would have had a union discussion about employment. But mine is just a hypothesis, if the opposite were true, let’s explain the scientific reason. “
How did school start in Veneto?
«From the pedagogical point of view, not in the best way: 13 thousand vacant positions, more or less half occupied by substitutes. After seven months of warm-up on the sidelines, we expected better.
What are you doing, President, arguing with the government?
«There is no controversy, it is an observation. It is clear that if you have half the teachers, you will have to spend less time. I don’t want to be the top of the class, I can only give the vision of someone who is in the trenches. I have three interlocutors: students, parents and health workers. I am the person in charge of these subjects and I cannot forget it ».
What worries you most about the delicate reopening of schools?
“It is not a cause for concern, there are three points that comfort me. First, we do not have a hospital emergency: we have 18 people in intensive care. Second, today 95% of those who are positive have no symptoms and come back negative without having had them. Finally, from what we learn from the scientific community, children or adolescents of pediatric age are the least exposed. My job today is to reconcile families with doctors.
“We need to reshape the relationship with local medicine, in particular with pediatricians with whom we have an excellent dialogue. They rightly with a child with a cough, two lines of fever, in light of today’s protocols, and also because of their understandable protection, are forced into rigid positions. But they know what to do, they know the patients, and they can understand that some symptoms have nothing to do with Covid. But I also put myself in the shoes of a mother ».
“You’re funny?” There are children who spend the winter with bronchitis. At the slightest suspicion, with the guide in hand, we move on to the tampon prescription. Or worse yet, the swab before the visit. But in this way, it means spending the winter rubbing.
At the Venice airport, the path is indicated for tampons for people from Malta, Cyprus, Spain, Croatia and Sardinia. It is not weird?
“Strange? If you want to make a controversy … With us, the hyssop to those who come from Sardinia has been made for some time, the Venetians and the Sardinians, voluntarily. In 4 minutes we give the written result. It is a service, certainly not a ghetto, the Sardinians are our brothers. And in fact we receive many letters of thanks. “
