Thus the Governor of the Region on Sky TG24: “The problems are in public transport to go to school and in shopping centers. That’s why our ordinance selectively identifies restrictions only in these settings, without harming others. “
“We don’t want to block Piedmont. We continue to defend the possibility that shops, bars and restaurants can continue to operate until midnight. We want to strike surgically, other than for everyone to pay for problems that we know are limited: the problems are in public transport to go to school and in shopping centers. That is why our ordinance selectively identifies restrictions only in these settings, without harming others. ” Piedmont Region President Alberto Cirio (CORONAVITUS: ALL UPDATES – CONTAGIO MAPS AND GRAPHICS – NEW ORDER IN PIEDMONT) told Sky TG24.
“We must guarantee the school in presence”
Distance education, Cirio explained, will be “for those children who can be expected to be alone at home, for whom distance education is something that they can continue without being damaged on their way. School attendance must be guaranteed, schools in Piedmont are open from infancy through elementary, middle, and the first year of high school. Over the past few years, we’ve made a decision that we can’t pretend we don’t see what’s going on. Public transportation to school packs the kids. They are safe at school, but when they leave or arrive they are not. It was necessary to intervene. As of Monday, during the last four years of high school, there will be half face-to-face and half distance education, alternating, potentially alleviating public transport by 70 thousand units a day ”. These measures will be enough to avoid a complete confinement “if we are good, if we deserve it even with our personal behavior.”
“Rapid tests for everyone in Piedmont”
“We have a million rapid tests – Cirio explained – available for the regional public service. We use them to test all RSAs in Piedmont every 15 days from now until the end of January, in schools, in health personnel in the region, in hospitals and emergency rooms, in sensitive offices such as judicial ones. But we want to extend it to all individuals. For this reason, in Piedmont it is now possible, in all public and private laboratories, to request a rapid test “.
How to do the quick test
“It is possible to do it,” he explained, “with a reservation in Piedmont pharmacies, the occupational doctor for companies that want to do it, and we are defining the agreement to do it with general practitioners. All at a reduced price, the average price of a pharmacy that is rubbed at home with a nurse is around 40 euros. It does not take sheets or orders, anyone can go and request the swab as a private individual and that result will be inserted into the platform, because the rapid antigenic swab when it gives a negative result gives a certain result, equal to the molecular one. If the test is positive, the regional health service will discard the molecular swab. We will do it faster. Today we guarantee 13 thousand traditional tampons a day. If the evolution of the contagion grows, they will not be enough, with rapid tests we are prepared to do more ”.
