In recent weeks, the number of new positive coronavirus cases has risen sharply, surpassing 10,000 cases a day multiple times. And despite these alarming figures, the Higher Council of Health has given the green light to a relaxation of the restrictions envisaged in kindergartens and primary schools that will begin tomorrow.
The situation in France worsens with an increase in infections. In an attempt to avoid the total blockade, the red zones were activated in half of the French departments. In particular, out of a total of 101, 50 departments have declared the “zone of active virus circulation”, a classification that allows prefects to take additional measures to block the advance of Covid-19. After the record increase on Saturday, September 19 with 13,498 more positives and 311 deaths, yesterday 10,569 new cases of Covid-19 were registered in 24 hours. If, on the one hand, local authorities are working to limit the spread of the infection as much as possible, on the other hand, a loosening of the restrictions provided for kindergartens and primary schools has just been adopted and will start tomorrow.

Coronavirus, latest news from Italy and the world. DIRECT
It has been established that all classes will be able to continue their normal activity even if a student has tested positive on the swab. In this case, the only infected child will remain at home while their classmates continue school activities while awaiting their return. This is because the closure of a class can only be decided from 3 positive cases. The government’s decision came after the opinion of the Higher Health Council according to which children are at low risk of suffering from serious forms and are not very active in the transmission of Covid-19. In this way, the provision that all those who had been in contact with a positive could return to class only in the presence of a negative swab made 7 days after the last contact with the confirmed case was overcome.
