The Government, the Minister of Education and also the technical-scientific committee, despite the rebound in those infected by Covid-19, categorically exclude the possibility of intervening with a school closure. We explain the reason that led to the government’s negative position on a possible school closure.
Positive numbers for COVID-19
The newsletter of October 10 relative to the cases of positivity of those infected by Coronavirus are: 5,724 new infections, 29 deaths. The figure comes from the 133,000 swabs made in the last 24 hours nationwide.
But the real problem, virology experts say, are the many undetected asymptomatic cases that circulate undisturbed and, in particular, in schools of all levels. It should be known that many students are “potentially” positive for the coronavirus, but do not show any symptoms and regularly attend face-to-face lessons.
Classes in quarantine and some schools closed
At the moment in which the contagion situation in schools is under control, the classes and teachers are quarantined in which one or more cases of positivity arise, there are also cases of more extensive outbreaks that have led to the closure of whole complexes. or even schools.
The fiduciary quarantine of entire class councils is creating many problems for teacher replacement with relative discomfort even for classes that continue to be able to attend in attendance.
Azzolina wants to avoid the closure of schools
The Minister of Education, Lucía Azzolina, declared that she absolutely wanted to avoid the closure of schools, arguing that in the unfortunate case of the growth of infections it will be necessary to intervene on the problem of overcrowding of public transport, on the limitation of recreational activities in the evening of the students. Basically, for Minister Azzolina, the closure of schools is an extreme ratio to avoid in the most absolute way.
Teachers don’t feel protected
As virologist Crisanti, Director of Microbiology at the University of Padua explained in early September, the reopening of schools and the reopening of production activities was a fantastic opportunity to trigger the transmission of Covid-19.
In light of what is happening in schools within weeks of their reopening, the cases of positivity in schools with teachers who do not feel absolutely protected are growing considerably on a daily basis. Instead, Minister Azzolina said reassuring words and, above all, figures that would support the low incidence of infections in schools.
Next government measures
The notable increase in the numbers in recent days worries the government. For this reason, Premier Conte has announced that some bans are about to be promulgated which also involve many students. We speak the prohibition of amateur contact sports. Even the nightlife, which involves many young people, will have a reduction in the hours at least. The delivery of alcohol to go is expected to stop starting at 9:00 p.m., as well as meetings outside bars, wineries, pubs and restaurants. Closing of the premises at 24. Total block to parties in public and private places. Limited to diners in restaurants.
