While the Covid-19 contagion bulletin records another record, with more than 26,800 cases last day, compared to 200,000 tampons and more than 200 deaths, people who oppose school closures are not giving up.
Those who oppose the closure
Among the supporters of those who ask to continue teaching in the presence there are CGIL General Secretary Maurizio Landini: “We are working, doing everything we can to keep the school open,” Lancini told Sky Tg24.
The confederal unionist has called for more investments in health and schools. “We continue to discuss the ESM at this point, we need a European ESM. Europe must decide to invest in health, education and welfare state and end the logic of austerity and cuts ”, concluded the leader of the CGIL.
too the secretary of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, expresses himself in favor of keeping the institutions regularly open: speaking with ‘La Repubblica’, he hopes “that closure will not be reached, but a serious and well-explained closure as Macron did last night is more understandable than not proceeding with continuous decrees” . as if it were a soap opera. Let’s make a serious plan, even if it’s difficult if necessary, but a strategic plan within six months. Non-continuous decrees that expire after six days. “
“The virus is strong, but let’s not avoid it. The restart of the school with us failed because we thought about wheelchair benches and not about having a medical point in each institution. Because we have exasperated the teachers with bureaucratic rules, but we have not made the transport work ”.
Echoes the parent company of Iv Maria Elena Boschi. Speaking in the Chamber about the information provided by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the former minister said: “If the regions close schools and 75% of the students do distance education, it is our greatest defeat, which stems from not knowing how to manage the transportation issue. Germany and France who announced the emergency shutdown they keep the schools open. “
Miozzo: Covid worsens, will be decided in 15 days
It is also said against stopping teaching Agostino Miozzo, coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee: its ‘The Corriere della SeraHe says that we will know if the measures work in “at least two weeks, then we will be ready to decide if we have reached the incompatible limit and we must move to a more radical intervention like the one we painfully lived through in March and April. Only with strict compliance with the rules, the emergency shutdown it can be remembered as a bad experience from the past ”.
Miozzo explains that the Dpcm is a response “to the current situation in the country that is deteriorating rapidly” and where he says that “since April 18 we have been asking to ‘implement all measures to reduce peaks in the use of public transport'” . Hospitals “are under pressure that is difficult to sustain in the long term.”
The CTS coordinator confirms himself as “100% supporter of the school. The real value is keeping them open and adapting the system to this need. We must defend it if we do not want to find hundreds of thousands of terrified children suffering from hut syndrome. “
Galli: there is no complete distancing
On the other hand, he is among those skeptical of necessarily keeping schools open. Massimo Galli, Senior Lecturer in Infectious Diseases at the Milan State University and head of the Sacco Hospital: during the broadcast of Agorà, on Rai 3, the doctor said that “although with much suffering, it can only be said that schools cannot be considered safe places, beyond political statements.” Because “right now, in this country, there are no safe places.”
Commenting on Emiliano’s decision to close schools in Puglia, except for childhood, Galli said that “despite all the efforts made by the school, there is still the risk of everything that comes before, after and, to sometimes, during, because you can’t get total distancing “.
According to the chief doctor, “any place that involves the concentration of many people for several hours is unsafe.”
“Time,” he added, “has really lost a lot of time on everyone’s part,” Galli said, “and transport is one of the main things that time has been lost on.” But the risk, he confirms, is also in the restaurants. “Last week, the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control) in Atlanta cited a study that showed how being along with eating, in some realities, is a spreading problem.”
Those least sure of the need to keep schools open are the governors. The one from Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, did not think twice to close them and confirm the initiative, also rejecting the invitation of Minister Lucía Azzolina to retrace his steps.
Emiliano: the situation is serious
Among those who believe that the risk threshold has been crossed and it is necessary to change dad is also the president of the Puglia region, Michele Emiliano.
“By suspending face-to-face teaching, I exercised my legitimate prerogatives provided by law, as the Prime Minister exercised his with the different Dpcm that he issued,” said the governor about the order to close schools as of Friday, October 30.
During the day, especially on social networks, the news of the removal of the ordinance circulated. “It is a farce – Emiliano answered – mounted by those who obviously do not realize the gravity of the moment and enjoy sowing confusion. If I have something to say to the Government or to President Conte, I do it in the competent office in secret and without public controversy ”.
“We are dealing with a more serious matter than expected – Emiliano continued – that must be handled with unity and mutual respect.”
“We are looking for solutions for families in Apulia who do not know where to leave their youngest children and I am sure that we will be able to alleviate their discomfort in the coming days.”
Azzolina: those who close schools are fooling themselves
Meanwhile, however, the Minister of Education Lucia Azzolina responded to the governor of Apulia.
“Thinking of solving the problem by closing schools – the minister said – is a mere illusion. As children go out, more will go out and risk infection. In the school, however, there are not only security measures, but also protocols that allow control and monitoring. Schools reopen as soon as possibleAzzolina commented.
He sided with the minister the commissioner for the emergency Domenico Arcuri who said: “it does not seem that the school makes infections grow.”
In the meantime, however, the governors shut them down, starting with high school.
