The enigma of the reopening of at least the primary schools remains. But the longer the hours pass, the greater the risk that there will be no return to school next Monday due to the increase in infections in children who attend elementary schools. Too many cases of Covid, especially in the school world: between Naples, in particular, and its province. Between teachers, students and school staff. Cases doubled in Naples alone in just 3 days and in schools closed: there were 413 positives on October 15, they became 700 two days ago, according to data held by the ASL Napoli 1 administration. This despite the closure the day after the numbers recorded on October 15. Hence the clouds that do not bode well despite Governor De Luca’s intention to allow, as of Monday, the return of primary school children.

Therefore, on the basis of this framework, the reopening of primary schools in Campania on Monday, October 26 is not safe, in fact, it runs a great risk. In fact, in the long meeting two days ago in the Crisis Unit, contagion curves were presented that “are becoming more vertical in the increase in the population from 0 to 18 years old.” “A huge increase in the opening of schools that augurs a greater spread of the virus in the coming weeks in the school population,” they say from the Region where it is confirmed that a political will is emerging to reopen schools, at least the primary one, but also the evaluation. risk to the health and health of the population as the first objective. But always considering the risks. “The Regional Crisis Unit has the mandate – it reads the latest ordinance – to constantly monitor and assess the situation of infections that have developed in the area in the school environment and related cases connected to close contacts, in order to reopen the business in the presence of the primary school as of October 26, 2020. ”Guidance reaffirmed the other day also by De Luca after having collected the victory in the TAR in a call for the inauguration presented by a group of parents:“ We authorize Immediately special projects for disabled and autistic children and, from Monday, also the primary school activities. Obviously, the directors of the schools should contact the local health authorities to make sure that there are safe conditions. “But nothing can be safe. Also last week, the Councilor for Education Lucia Fortini, He was quick to reiterate on social networks that there would be no closure but three days later the attendance in the classroom came to a halt.
And the numbers available, even now, don’t bode well.
“Once the epidemiological data from the school have been acquired, which attest to a continuous increase in verified cases that have doubled in some territories,” the Region said two days ago in a statement on the sidelines of the meeting with the unions that requested in vain advisor Lucia Fortini the infection numbers of school personnel. Between teachers and students. Data still in the hands of the Regional Crisis Unit. But they are exciting because cases have doubled, even when classrooms are closed, in just three days. It is not an increase, it is a vertical increase.
Only in the city of Naples we went from the 413 positives registered on October 15, the eve of the stop for classes, to the 700 positives three days ago. On Tuesday, in fact, 253 students, 23 teachers, 20 ATA employees and another 135 tracked with contract tracing were positive for Covid. These are the numbers that led the governor to close schools of all levels until the end of the month. Hoping that the school’s closure would stop or perhaps smooth the contagion curve. Nothing to do because three days ago the data said that nothing has stopped: the positive ones, are always ASL numbers relative to the capital, they go to 700. Of which 488 students, 73 teachers, 22 Ata staff and 97 drawn with the contract tracking. And the situation further north, in the territory of Napoli 2 ASL, is no better. And if there are still no precise statistics, it is because the data has not been worked on to separate the infections of the school from the rest.
